This terms first taste of kayaking is on the River Usk! This will be a nice introduction to white water, perfect for freshers! To go, you must have canoe membership and you must have been to one pool session. However, we recommend coming to as many sessions as you can, as we will practise many useful skills for the river. We recommend making an account on the website before signups as places often go quickly so be ready. We will be leaving Friday evening, and getting back Sunday evening. The kit you'll need for the trip is just dry clothes for two days, a towel, wet clothes (NOT COTTON) and river shoes (shoes you don't mind going in the river)! With wet clothes, we recommend several layers, eg. Thermals; but we will provide wet suits as well as kayaks, helmets, cags, etcetera. Any questions on kit, ask any of the exec and we can help. Places will be confirmed asap after signups first open.
