Forth Canoe Club

FCC takes Belgium! 🇧🇪

Eight of our canoe polo crew survived (and thrived) in the marathon trek to and from Ypres to play in De Paddel.

8 games, 5 solid wins, and a 13th-place finish out of 24 teams. 🏆

It turned out to be much hotter than a Scottish summer, which meant only one thing: immediate excuse to bust out the kilts.

A Grandtully to remember!

We had 37 members on the water, ranging from age 10 all the way to 70 something.

From calm loch paddling to exhilarating Grade 4 whitewater, seeing so many of you build new skills, try new things, and support our leaders in their development was incredible.

Nearly 20% of our club came together for one epic weekend. Here’s to the next one!

Thank you Visit Edinburgh for giving us a mention. We have spaces left on Thursday and Friday afternoon sessions this week, perfect way to cool off! Book in at https://events.humanitix.com/escape-the-fringe-kayaking-canoeing-or-paddle-boarding

We still have a few spaces left on our next Intermediate Kayak course, starting 5 August.

This course is for you if you have done some kayaking before and want to develop your skills and confidence.

🚣‍♂️ Great Glen Way

4 days. From Fort William to Inverness.

The Scottish weather gave us the full experience (yes, it rained... a lot! 🌧️), but a bit of downpour couldn’t damp the Forth Canoe Club spirit.

Plus, the wind played ball, giving us the perfect excuse to hoist the sails ⛵

We paddled hard, camped out, and had an amazing time.

Massive shoutout to everyone who took part and made it an unforgettable trip. (And a special nod to Ant and Alan for keeping everyone on the right track!)

INSPIRED?

We're running a Beginners Canoe Course! If you want to learn the ropes, master the paddle, and maybe join us on the next big expedition, this is your perfect starting point.
