- A chance for guides and participants to consider together the objectives, challenges and expectations of planned events.
- A means for participants to be assured that their paddling capability and expectations align with their chosen events.
- A chance to check equipment and operational details in advance of events.
Who will this event suit? - Participants whose capability & experience is suitable for the events on the Atlantic Shores calendar. Please refer to the specific event details and the trip grading guide. This event will be at Grade B or C, with groups divided generally depending on the events they are planning to attend. You can find details of our event grading system here.

This is a sea kayaking centre with a campsite, bunkhouse, glamping and lots of great facilities (e.g. drying room & paddler's bar) to support sea kayaking! You need to make & settle your own reservation but they have a block allocation of camping space for us.
Numbers - Maximum participants 10 per weekend. We will be split in two groups. Because of the small size of the group there will be lots of interaction and customisation to suit the needs of attendees.
Price - The price for each weekend is £100. If you are already booked on one of our events then your participation at one of these weekends is free of charge. This event fee is refundable if you make a booking onto any of our events later in the year.
