White Water Kayak Coaching

December 12, 2018

Over the last 2 days Gwilym has been on The River Barle and The River Dart with a few clients looking at improving their paddling skills on moving water. Both clients have become more at ease and use the water rather than fighting it. As always when learning new techniques, there were a couple of swims but this is part of the process.

Gwilym, Robin and Ben  were out at Haytor today working with a group from Hamp Estate in Bridgwater.

All 5 young people managed to climb and belay and learnt to put on their own harnesses and tie themselves in. At the end of the session they even had a little trip through the Dart Rock cave system.
