Find Out MoreOverview
This group is all about sharpening up your paddle strokes, helping to make them smoother, more effective, and more efficient. But also thinking about when to use them and how to blend them together. We’ll plan to spend the weekend on local lochs.
Alongside your daytime paddling, there’ll be evening drop-in workshops, after-dinner talks, evening shenanigans from our friends at Hou Canoes, the Lochain Bar and a room full of musical instruments if anyone fancies a folk session.
You must also book your accommodation by selecting the accommodation option on the previous event page. Please note that any bookings made without accommodation will be contacted by our Bookings team in due course.
