Bit of a drive, they have paddles, nylon spraydecks and plastic kayaks not the best quality equipment but they do for the beginner and novice.
They let you bring your own kayak and gear if you have it which i do.

So can you just turn up at the Robinson Centre on a Wed night with no real experience and be shown or do you need to have done some beginner stuff first? Also, can you take kids (11 year old).

I did a week Kayaking course at a swimming pool when I was a teenager, was great fun.
