The level of ability for these paddling trips is aimed at people who are in their early stages of their development as whitewater paddlers and who are building up their experience of running rivers.
I find it really hard not too be welcome anybody onto any trip, but on occasion when intermediate or advanced paddlers attend these trips people for whom these trips are intended are unable to attend.
British Canoeing Moderate Water remit specifies one leader to a maximum number of four participants.
Please could people consider their suitability for these trips before signing on.
