Experience Days Kayaking: Experience the natural pleasures of man power and make a splash!
With 2 hours of expert tuition from a BCU trained instructor, you
can practice the basic skills behind the wonderfully active sport
of kayaking - and maybe even a little more.
Once in the water and
making waves on your class, your instructor will take you along the
River Leam - highlighting the beauty of the Victoria Gardens from
your own personal kayak.
Kayaking has a lot going for it.
Not only is it relatively
inexpensive, but it's a true 'back-to-nature' activity - just you
and your craft on the water, with nothing to distract you but
whichever beautiful landscape you choose to surround yourself with.
There's no need for fuel (apart form a good breakfast, of course!),
there's no noise from engines, and it can be supremely chilled out
or extremely amped up, depending on your skills and mood.
Following registration at the boat centre you will meet your
instructor.
They will then fit you with your equipment including
buoyancy aid; cag (waterproof top) boat and paddle.
The Kayaks are
very stable and designed for tuition so you are unlikely to roll
over unless you try hard! A full safety briefing and explanation in
the use of the equipment is provided before going onto the water.
The session will take place on a calm stretch of the River Leam.
You will taught how to control the boat so you can enjoy a river
trip up though the Victorian Gardens and into the nature reserve.
Once you have mastered the basics you might even get to put them to
the test with a game or two!
Great fun, great exercise - a wonderful afternoon in the great
outdoors learning something new!
