CONTENT
On this course we’ll tour around the Scottish Highlands, seeking out the best grade 2/3 rivers. We’ll start off at Glenmore Lodge, heading over to the West Coast at Inchree for a couple of nights before returning to the Lodge. Depending on water levels and the needs of the group, we might paddle the Roy, Findhorn, Tay, Orchy, Awe, Garry, or Spean. This week is about maximizing our time running the river and less about coaching.
Glenmore Lodge has a purpose made kayak rolling pool which will be available for use in the evening, so if your roll is needing practice we may be able to help you.
