11 May safety and rescue session (not as scary as it sounds we promise)
We'll be meeting at Loch Morlich Beach - this is the far end as you're coming from Aviemore, near the Glenmore Visitor Centre. The car park can get busy, so please car share if possible, and let us know if you need a lift from Aviemore bus / train station!
We're going to head out onto Loch Morlich and spend some time getting comfy on (and off) our paddleboards. Aimed at building confidence, this session is will help build independence and confidence on the water. It will be a belter whether you are a newbie, or a more experienced paddler.
If you want to come along for a wee social paddle that's absolutely ok too! Just be warned we likely won't be travelling any distance.
We've got kit for hire, and will require all paddleboarders to wear a wetsuit or dry suit and buoyancy aid. All crafts welcome.
If the weather is glorious (we can hope) we'll have a wee beach picnic, so bring some snacks, or if it's miserable then we'll head somewhere for coffee / cake (optional, obviously)
