Join us for a weekend of white water coaching with White Water legend Heidi Walsh! September 18th & 19th at the Tryweryn.

Who’s Heidi?!?

Only one of the kayaking world's most renowned white water kayakers! With a resume that’s hard to beat, in just the past few months Heidi has run a 100ft waterfall at Ram falls, competed and finished 4th at the North Fork Championships and has been a GB Freestyle team athlete for over a decade. A team Pyranha paddler and all round top tier human, it's safe to say Heidi knows a thing or two about kayaking and maximising fun!

For this weekend we intend to paddle the Tryweryn and focus on developing skills for more advanced White Water.

Think the river bed is just rocks? Think again!

Take a single handful of the river bed and you'll see the rich bio diversity on display, Snails, muscles, shrimps, worms, crabs. 🐚💪🦐🪱🦀

We teamed up with for an overnight Canoe and wild camp expedition, exploring Pembrokeshire.

Stunning views, great company, sunshine, exploring ruins and clocking up the miles. 🛶

Nature at ora finest!

Thanks and for coaching and guiding!

What a fantastic day!

Thanks to all our fabulous coaches who volunteered for the day and worked above and beyond. We put over 100 participants on the water, many for the first time, Including someone's first ever swim!

And thanks to all the team at Brentford Community Boat House.

Our WW Progression Weekends are the perfect way to get your first taste of real white water!

We’ll be running a beginner white water weekend on the 18/19th of April alongside our usual trip.

It'll run on the Dee (levels dependent) and will link up with the other group for dinner and anyone who isn’t confident joining the usual group can get a taste of what these weekends are all about (fun, building confidence, improving skills and getting out on the river together)

If you’ve been down a white water course, you can do a wet exit/capsize drill and you’re keen to learn more, this is for you! No need for a solid roll.

We’d love to get more people out on the river, so we’re running a promo for this month's WW Progression trip, next weekend (18/19th).

*Bring a friend and you both save £50!*
You can be on the same trip in April, or split and go in different groups, because we’ll link back up in the evening.
Just book you and your friend in and use this code at the checkout: BringAFriend

At least one of you must be new. So if your friend hasn’t joined us on a ww weekend trip in the last 12-months bring them along and you both benefit!
Please share this with anyone you know has been on the fence for a while. The weather’s warming up, spring has sprung and it’s time to get out on the river!!
