MWSS: This course is suitable for anyone of 2 Star level and above and will teach you the basic skills of self-rescue and paddling techniques in a moving water environment.  You do not need experience of moving water, as this is aimed as an introduction.

This course will be a prerequisite for the white water paddling trips organised over the winter.

Places are limited, so get in quick if you want to join the course.

THIS TRIP HAS NOW BEEN OPENED UP TO ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES:  Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean have plenty of possibilities for walks of various lengths and a variety of mountain bike trails. It is also a good opportunity for a touring paddle along the River Wye or a gentle warm up for the white water paddling season on Symonds Yat rapids. 

Activities will depend on the availability of Leaders.
