Recreation
We run regular trips away from the lake - we try to cater for all tastes and abilities whether that is a gentle cruise on an easy river or lake, an adrenaline fueled blast down whitewater rapids or a journey on the ocean. In addition to day trips we also run a number of longer trips usually over a weekend which generally involve camping. All club trips are led by qualified and experienced coaches and leaders.

Competition
Members of our section participate in a range of competitive paddlesport disciplines including canoe polo, slalom, sprint and marathon. Don't worry if you are a beginner or not built like an Olympic athlete - there are divisions suitable for all levels from novice to expert - and In the lower divisions it is more about having fun than winning.
