A course for Explorer Scouts
1st -3rd Oct 2010
Cost: £15 (the rest of the course is subsidised from a grant from LCC)
The course starts at 8:00 pm on Friday evening and is primarily aimed at improving paddlers, rather than complete beginners.
This means the focus for the weekend will be on BCU 2 star training (and assessment if candidates are up to that standard) or the completion of a FSRT course.(a safety and rescue course) This means both kayaking and canoeing will be an essential part of the weekend. Details of these course can be found on the BCU website www.bcu.org.uk/tests-and-awards
Please note any assessments will include an additional cost for certificates from the BCU (£5 for 2* and £10 for FSRT)
Participants should bring, personal equipment for a weekend in catered accommodation this include a couple of towels, and a sleeping bag.
The paddling will involve a large element of getting wet, so please bring appropriate clothing. A wet suit would be beneficial; footwear, waterproofs and a hat should also be brought whatever the weather.
All buoyancy aids & kayaking / canoeing equipment will be supplied
The course will finish about 3pm on Sunday 3rd October. Parking will only be available at Great Tower.
