Description
We are always on a high yet feeling frustrated when our awesome 2 day WW essentials course comes to a close. Seeing packrafters grow in knowledge and confidence on and around rivers is ace. BUT we know that a person’s ability to absorb information in demanding environments has a limit. We know that to make your practice permanent…well, you need more purposeful practice…more time…and more varied opportunities.
This 5 day course serves as an extension to our popular 2 day white water essentials course. With some knowledge of white water skills and safety now acquired from either our 2 day course or your own personal paddling journeys, this course is all about embedding that learning, and getting lots of practice and mileage in the environment. The aim of the 5 days will be to explore the many fantastic rivers of the Scottish Highlands and embed the skills of:
- Safe river running as a team
- Rapid scouting on-the-move and from the bank
- Safety & rescue skills
…and of course the key white water fundamentals of:
- break ins/outs
- Ferry glides
- S-turns.
Expect plenty of top tips and feedback as we run and play the river as a team, enjoying the many fantastic class 3 runs of the Highlands – Findhorn, Roy, Spean, Spey, Garry, Tay (to name but a few).
Based centrally from Aviemore with all venues a maximum of 90 mins drive from here.
