CANOEING - FOUNDATION SKILLS
Paddling a canoe for many folk seems an unconquerable skill as the canoe just seems to have a mind of its own. If you book on one of our canoe foundation courses then these skills will become second nature and you'll soon be moving the canoe with ease. These courses are aimed at beginners or those with some experience who wish to develop their skills further.
No matter what your objective we will:- Provide you with a enjoyable learning experience;
- Structure the day to your requirements unless we are obliged
to follow a syllabus; and - Make sure you leave smiling.
Venues
For these courses we use venues in Shropshire, Telford and Llangollen.Typical Programme (1 day course)
