Description:
We’ll be heading out to the French Alps, where we will be based near Briancon. This is a place full of fantastic whitewater, both big and small (grade 2-4+), with brilliant continuous rapids to tackle with great views.
Coaching/Leading:
As part of this trip we have booked external coaching/leading so as to put less strain on our own volunteers, the coaching will be aimed to improve white water river paddling or the more advanced paddlers leadership refreshers in a moderate water grade 2/3 environment. The group we have arranged this with shall work on individualised coaching to help you develop your paddling towards your own personal goals.
Making My Own Arrangements:
We want to open the trip up to as many members as we can, so if like the idea of the trip but don’t want to paddle every day or are interested more in just a peer paddle perhaps, or you are a family who want to make your own accommodation options, there is a “Making My Own Arrangements” option which is free to sign up your interest and we shall get in touch with you nearer the time.
