Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning
This is a fantastic opportunity to bring together both the British Canoeing Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning course, with some practical on the water navigation training. We start with the British Canoeing Safety Course: Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning. At the end of day 1, we do some planning for the next day. For day 2, we head out in the sea kayaks to conduct the plan, and apply lots of practical navigation tips and tricks.
We aim to provide a holistic course, free of jargon that provides you with the essentials to build confidence and ensure that all the content is related to practical application on the water. This is perfect for anyone who works or plays on the sea - making you a safer paddler.
