Hi All, I am doing my Advanced Canoe Leader Assessment in both Open and Whitewater. I require guinea pigs to lead for this if you are available please RSVP. Details below. And questions. Ask me or Sean. Hi folks We have an opportunity to be led on a pair of advanced canoe leader assessments. We are hoping for advanced open and white water assessment on 15,16 February. If we do not get conditions to run both assessments we will run whatever one we have conditions for. There is of course a chance we don't get conditions for either of them. If you want to come on this you should ideally be available for both days. On the open water day there will be a led journey and some rafted or solo sailing depending what is appropriate in wind above force 4 On the white water water day we will be going on a grade 3(4) river such as the Leven or duddon. Canoes and sails can be hired for the open water day. We have one old venture prospector that can be hired for white water day. I am not massively keen on hiring out the royalex boats for the white water day. We would ask that any equipment damaged would be replaced or repaired Please let me know your availability as soon as possible. I will then be keen to chat about your suitability for either day. If we get conditions it will be a great couple of days sean Phone | 07949682158 Email | sean@wildriver.co.uk Website | https://wildriver.co.uk Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/wildriver.co.uk Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/seanwildriver/ Wild River, The Boathouse, Thiefside, Calthwaite, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 9RG Event co-ordinator David Woolley Trip leader(s) David Woolley Trip type: River / Open Water Level of ability: Advanced Date 15th-16th February 2023 Venue TBC Meet location / time: TBC Meet to share lifts at: TBC Anything else
