Park and Practice on Flat Water

Park and Practice

River Leven Below the Slalom Course

Parking in layby on the Northside of the carriageway, just before the bridge when travelling from Barrow to Kendal.

When travelling form Kendal, I usually turn round at the Backbarrow junction and go back to the layback.

It is a very busy, fast road - please be careful

Open to all levels of ability for these  paddling sessions

Practice in play boats, practice in river boats, try rolling, anything you want

No direct coaching but I would envisage everybody working together and learning from each other.

8. Anything else:

Park and play session and the water is very accessible and so people could dip in and dip out, I will be there for 10:00, people could arrive later and choose when they wish to leave.

I am happy to co-ordinate and lead the session. However, as a group, we are jointly responsible for each other’s safety on the water.

Park and Practice in warmish water so wear feel appropriate.

PFD and Kayak specific helmets still required

I will try and put these sessions on a regular basis but welcome feedback on frequency, location and time
