Training & Coaching

Youth Scholarship - North TR 6.
Thursday's Youth Scholarship training session took place around Peel Castle, beginning with incident scenarios on dry land, moving onto the water, and then whilst on the move.

Sunday's coaching sessions
met at Port Erin beach, with the morning session stlitting into two working groups, practicing personal skills.

The afternoon Intermediate session warmed up in the bay, then paddled to the Sound for some moving water skiills, followed by incident management, finishing with all manner of wet skills in the bay.

CANI  Paddlefest
The Canoe Association of Northern Ireland hosts an annual 'Paddlefest', changing locations each time.
This weekend it was based at Tollymore National Centre - recently refurbished and extensivly rebuilt. It is a stunning building, set in the backdrop of the Mourne Mountains.
Watching the sun come up over the Isle of Man and the Lakes was a great way to begin the day.
