Skills Opportunities

Wilderness Canoe offer three strands of Skill based development:

Whitewater Skills

Whether you are a beginner, Intermediate or Advanced paddler Wilderness Canoe can create a progressive experience on the rivers of the UK. Using the rivers of the Lake District, North of England and beyond means I can run a programme near to you; on the right section of water to give you confidence.

'Trad' Skills

These skills develop your canoeing to encompass a greater variety of solutions to both overcome obstacles and to just go and 'play'!

Going on an expedition? Learn to: Pole, Line & Track, Portage or Sail your canoe.

Flatwater Skills

Struggling to paddle in the wind? Going 'solo' for the first time? Having problems with your 'Tandem' style? Want to practice some 'Rescue' strategies?

All this and more is possible on a Flatwater Skills day.

Other Opportunities

Wilderness Canoe can offer a programme that is a purely bespoke service tailored directly to your requirements.

It was a great day, a perfect day - learnt loads. I like Matt's approach, letting you find out by trying things out and experimenting

I've taken away a lot from the day and want to practice what I've learnt and hopefully add to my skills. I'd like to try some moving water and progress further than I am now.
