Spey Descent
The canoe, in its various forms, was probably the earliest form of transportation invented. It still offers an appropriate means of reaching remote and inaccessible areas for recreational and aesthetic purposes, while having minimal impact on that environment. The kayak and canoe and the skills of safe and efficient group management allow outdoor leaders and participants to experience and enjoy the rivers, lochs and coastal waters of our countryside.
Spey Descent is a multi-faceted course that emphasises increasing familiarity and experience in different craft in both flat and moving water. Besides trying different boats and learning about their properties, students will learn about water hazards, river crossings, and introductory rescue techniques. The course culminates with a descent of the river Spey.
