North Wales paddlesport weekend
Friday 14 – Sunday 16 September 2012
An opportunity for Scouts and leaders to be trained and assessed for the new BCU/Canoe Wales 1, 2, and 3 star kayak and canoe awards; and the opportunity to undertake the BCU Foundation Safety and Rescue training course. We will also, for the first time this year, be offering the opportunity for those new to the sport to undertake 'paddlepower'.
Venue: Llyn Gwynant campsite on the north shore of Llyn Gwynant in Snowdonia. Visit their website for information: http://www.gwynant.com/
Groups should be self contained with their own camping equipment, permanent toilet blocks are on site. Gas cooking only but altar fires and wood can be hired from the warden. Be aware that the site can be windy so smaller tents are preferable. Please arrive on Friday evening to set up camp in order to be ready for Saturday morning sessions; this ensures smooth running of the busy weekend.
For kayak or canoe training and assessment: each paddler must come fully equipped as for the Islwyn weekend and the craft will be inspected. A responsible adult should be available on shore should any paddler, for any
reason, leave the water.
For Foundation Safety and Rescue: candidates should also try and bring a tow line, throwbag and any rescue equipment already possessed, and recognise that they will spend a lot of time in teh water and dress accordingly!
This course and the 3 star course are subject to CW registration and early intention of participation is vital, the courses will be cancelled if numbers are insufficient.
Successful 1 and 2 star candidates will be issued with a CW pass slip that should be sent to the CW, along with their fee, to exchang for a certificate. CW will be notified of successful 3 star and Foundation Safety and Rescue participants.
