18-19 Dec 2021 British Canoeing White Water Award (by Steve Rayner Outdoor Pursuits)

All my courses will be run in accordance with Covid-19 regulations and guidance.

The White Water Award is designed to develop your ability to apply appropriate decision making skills for a safe day out white water paddling in a kayak or OC1. It endorses your skill, judgment and decision making to ensure a successful day on rivers up to grade 2. You will be confident in planning and undertaking journeys on moving water with proficient skills to be in control throughout. This is a great preparation for the British Canoeing Sheltered Water Kayak Coach Award!

This 2-day course is intended to provide training tailored to the individual needs of participants and, for those who meet the require standard, an opportunity for assessment for this Award. You should already be an experienced and confident flat-water paddler before attending the course, ideally with some moving or white-water experience.

While there remain restrictions on indoor gatherings, courses may include video-conference sessions to cover ‘classroom’ topics. These will usually be a few days before and/or after the main ‘practical’ (outdoor) sessions, arranged to suit participants on each course. The dates shown below are for the ‘practical’ sessions only.

Venue to be confirmed (somewhere in the Brecon area).

Cost £120 per person (non-residential).
