Gold Canoeing – Qualifying Expedition

- Length – 5 Days
- Start – Barrow upon Soar 10:00
- Finish – Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham
- £660 per person inc. vat
One of the biggest rivers in the UK, the Trent is full of history, architecture and beautiful landscapes. Once you have experienced a new perspective of the midlands we guarantee you’ll leave with a whole new love and appreciation of this lesser known area of England.
Our first day will be spent near the centre, creating expedition aims, planning routes and refreshing your paddling skills. You will have plenty of time to connect as a team, get to know your new paddling partners and refresh those all important rescue and leadership skills. You’ll end the first day confident and full of last-minute hints and tips to ensure your success. The first night focuses on socialising so you’re welcome to order takeaway to the campsite or head offsite. Day 2 is when your qualifying expedition begins. Your instructors will supervise and mentor you through the experience aiming to make sure you don’t just “pass” but you excel in the environment, develop new skills and create some amazing memories.
