3 Days of white water kayaking skills and confidence boosting on the Scottish summer classics.

This course is designed to ensure you have a strong set of foundational skills in the grade 2 environment to then transfer into the more challenging Grade 3 waters.  Over 3 Days we will give you plenty of technical and tactical information to support you in taking control of your kayak on the water. From river reading, paddle skills and safety to mindset and confidence building. 

The rivers we plan to use on this course will be the River Tay & River Garry which thanks to large catchment and dam release are guaranteed to run.

For this course we recommend plenty of grade 2 experience and maybe some grade 3.

A reliable white water roll would support your progression but if your roll is not bomb proof we can support you with this.

If you require accommodation we recommend looking at the villages of Newtonmore / Kingussie as the most central location to these rivers. The Tay is around an hour from here depending on the section used and the river Garry is around 1 hour 15 minutes. 

Should other rivers come into condition this central location also leaves us with many other options. The alternative option is to van or tent camp At Grandtully after day 1 then move towards the river Garry for day 2.
