Requirements

An ability to paddle and undertake a self rescue to empty a boat is required for our hire sessions. The river banks are fairly accessible and the river sections we use are fairly easy to paddle in either direction as there are tow paths along the bank for paddlers and access in case of a capsize.



What to bring

Bring a change of clothing for after the trip. We ask that all equipment is left clean and sponged out after your hire session.

we have no access to any changing rooms or toilet facilities as we operate our business from a canoe trailers we only have very basic facilities.
