The Explore Award is the next stage from our beginner courses / Discover Award, and will build the skills you need to become an independent paddler. Even better, once you have this award you can get your own key to the Club boat shed and go paddling whenever you like!

Paddle UK has a good description of what's involved here: https://britishcanoeingawarding.org.uk/wp-content/files/01112018BCABPaddleExploreAwardV1-1Nov21.pdf

Since it's still early in the year, I suggest we work on rescues in the pool on Thursday May 16th. Please book on this pool session separately. If you'd prefer to do the rescues in the river then we can arrange another time.

It's suitable for anyone who did the Discover award last year and has done some paddling since, and will culminate in the group planning and undertaking a short local journey. Please drop me a line (or talk to someone who has done the award) if you have any questions.
