Myself (Tony) with Barry and Ron are heading to Shetland for 9 days from the 9th to the 18th to join up with the Shetland Canoe Club who are hosting a symposium, it’s an event for sea kayakers and the next one is over the weekend of 11th to 14th July 2014 and held at Bridge End Outdoor Centre, Burra. Over Saturday and Sunday there are training sessions to support personal skills development from basic to advanced levels, plus guided trips to some of the best paddling venues around the isle. Accommodation is available on site for those that wish it (dormitory, camping and caravaning), there are sit down meals Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, and to make it just a little easier if you’re coming up on the ferry or flying up, Shetland Canoe Club is offering temporary membership to give you access to club kayaks, paddles, buoyancy aids and spraydecks. Pick up from the ferry can be arranged. There are a range of options so people can tailor their weekend to what they’d like to get out of it. Local paddlers are more than welcome to attend for whole or part of the symposium. If you want to join us please get in contact with Ron on 07743342330
