What to expect
We conduct high-quality practical training on natural rivers with maximum participation. Depending on water levels, we ordinarily include trips down the river to maximise learning opportunities from a variety of river features.
The training is physical and will include lots of swimming and walking/scrambling around slippery riverbanks/rocks.
Students are required to organise their own camping and catering.
