- SEA KAYAK INTROmediate skills - North Coast Anglesey

Skills covered: trip planning, briefings, contact tows, towline use, heel hook rescues, scoop rescue, self rescues, negotiating tight spaces, rock hopping and an introduction to group control.
The syllabus for the Sea Kayak Award is available on the British Canoeing website www.britishcan...

I'm really excited to be running two courses on the Scottish coast in the summer with Marie Corry. We're hosting an intermediate skills week and then an expedition week on the west coast of Scotland - should be great fun! Contact Marie or me for details.

Thanks for that - working on some more now!
Love it, I was trying to see if I recognised where you were. But no.
Mainly the section between Bull Bay and the arch is at the Brickworks.
