John Hubbocks from Mobile Team Adventure does turn up and paddle kayak sessions at Shaws Bridge on every Saturday afternoon.
Who fancies a go at it on the first session in March (Sat 27th). It's £15 for a 2 hour session from 4-6pm and you don't need any equipment.
Hopefully DampColin can fill in a few details but this is suitable for all levels of experience so beginners can get a bit of instruction and more experienced people can have a mess.

I'm in too.
Well I'm firmly in the "beginners" camp! Dont think I've ever sat in a canoe or kayak :)
You can probably count Kat in for this as well!

John runs "turn up and try" sessions at Shaws bridge every saturday starting 27th of this March as J said earlier. Anyone can give it a go from the complete novice who's never sat in a kayak or canoe to the more experienced.
The last session is usually the best one to attend as its an adults only session and you'd get the most out of the coaching thats provided, costs £15 for two hours and the session runs from 4.30 too 6.30. Its a great introduction to kayaking/canoeing and value for money. ;D
I have always wanted to try Kayaking, work permitting, Im in
So possibly 8 - any other takers?
Guys i'll have to miss this. Work again >:( >:( >:(
Will there be another group outing shaws bridge?
Thats a shame chum. I'm hoping that we can get groups canoeing at Shaws Bridge on a regular basis.

Okelydokely, I've been on with DampColin about the best attire for tomorrows canoeing since most of us wont be overly equipped. He says wetsuit would be great if you have one knocking about, otherwise "Base layer top with fleece then a light waterproof top, jeans or jogging bottoms would do for the bottom half. It's what you'd feel comfortable, warm and waterproof in that would count."
