Solo canoe practice this afternoon focusing on skills such as J strokes, draw strokes and cross deck bow rudders. All essential skills for the canoeist 🛶 @Philip_Britton @nfordteacher @VentureCanoes

What a difference a day makes! 1.) Fri: Oct. 6th Oct. ~ my #Spey #canoe/#whisky guests enjoyed the sunshine & ideal water levels ~ up by around 1/2-metre. 2.) Sat: river swollen & up by almost 2-metres. Stonking down!! 💦 💦 🫣

A few more photos from an excellent days outing. Despite the bitter cold boys were well prepared, they’d done their homework, came with the right kit, plenty of layers, thermos flasks, and lots of gloves! #BeAdventureSmart @Philip_Britton @nfordteacher @BSBDECA @VentureCanoes

We had a brilliant day on Windermere, a little bit of bushcraft to set up for lunch, it was lovely to prepare hot dogs and enjoy the surroundings. @Philip_Britton @BSBDECA @nfordteacher @VentureCanoes

Absolutely stunning day for a Christmas themed canoe journey. @Philip_Britton @nfordteacher @VentureCanoes @BSBDECA

Huge thanks to Paul in our estates team who has been busy this week lacing our canoes ready for them to be taken on moving water @Philip_Britton @VentureCanoes @BSBDPA @nfordteacher

we had 14 paddlers on the water for senior sport, some more experienced than others but all keen to learn. These boys have the option to take part in our long term paddler development programme to gain skills and qualifications @Philip_Britton @BritishCanoeing @VentureCanoes
