Our WW Progression Weekends are the perfect way to get your first taste of real white water!

We’ll be running a beginner white water weekend on the 18/19th of April alongside our usual trip.

It'll run on the Dee (levels dependent) and will link up with the other group for dinner and anyone who isn’t confident joining the usual group can get a taste of what these weekends are all about (fun, building confidence, improving skills and getting out on the river together)

If you’ve been down a white water course, you can do a wet exit/capsize drill and you’re keen to learn more, this is for you! No need for a solid roll.

We’d love to get more people out on the river, so we’re running a promo for this month's WW Progression trip, next weekend (18/19th).

*Bring a friend and you both save £50!*
You can be on the same trip in April, or split and go in different groups, because we’ll link back up in the evening.
Just book you and your friend in and use this code at the checkout: BringAFriend

At least one of you must be new. So if your friend hasn’t joined us on a ww weekend trip in the last 12-months bring them along and you both benefit!
Please share this with anyone you know has been on the fence for a while. The weather’s warming up, spring has sprung and it’s time to get out on the river!!
