2 Star Courses
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2018 11:53 am
Guys
I am running a couple of 2 Star courses this spring and summer for those of you who wish to progress your skill levels. As a minimum paddlers need to have already attended a Beginners Course , or already hold 1 Star, but this is really aimed at those with a bit more experience.
The first dates are Saturdays April 7/14 at the lake, and assessment on May 5th.
The second dates are Saturdays June 23/30 and assessment on July 7th.
I appreciate this is the upcoming holiday season so some mix-and-matching between courses may be possible as long as I know IN ADVANCE.
It is very strongly advised (think: essential) that you attend the pool sessions in between those dates to practice the underwater skills in a warmer environment, as the outside water temperature will still be cold!
The cost of the course will be £45 for members , £55 for non-members and will include all equipment necessary.
It is also advised that you check the syllabus from the British Canoeing website, and familiarise yourselves with the requirements.
This will involve some open boating on at least one of the lake sessions. These can be paddled tandem, but solo skills will also be included.
So far I have interest from Gemma, Arina, and possibly Tara. Any more takers please.
