Scotland 2023:
We have the availability to take 14 people to Scotland this year, we will be heading up early on Saturday 18th March and returning on Thursday 23rd of March in the evening. This trip is focused more towards those who have been getting involved in whitewater regularly this year or have been kayaking whitewater for a while now.
Depending on numbers we shall be staying in a bunkhouse which is currently estimated at £120/£125 per person for the week's trip. Food and travel will be calculated at the end of the trip.
PLEASE NOTE: Once sign-up has closed you are confirmed onto this trip and accommodation will be sorted with the expectation of all that have signed up and are going.
Payments for the deposit of the accomodation will have to be booked quickly too for reference!
If you have any queries give Charlotte a message, she will be happy to help! If you want a general idea of this trip have a look at last year's videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfzN9E7ihUlfPCwp3AdRx-QZsj12Dm36
This is a slightly spontaneous trip designed mainly for kayaking freshers who have been involved in a variety of WW trips but need some more focus specific sessions. This trip is running mainly for freshers who are not going to Scotland (but Scotland freshers are also encouraged to come if they want some more practice).
River to be confirmed, as it depends on rain and group of people, but easy grade 3. However, with this week's forecast it could still be quite intense, so please bring plenty of layers.
Arrive at the boathouse at 8am (this does mean 8am Fin... not 11:33...), with the aspiration to be back late afternoon depending on the day, traffic and water etc.
If you have any questions regarding it, please speak to Josh, Nick, or Charlotte.
