The NACC white water training weekend will be Friday 5th Nov to Sunday 7th Nov in Brecon. The total cost for weekend is £60. This includes 2 night accommodation, food and all white water coaching*.
The club is based just north of Bristol and prides itself on being a friendly, fun loving family club that takes a pride in developing paddlers’ skills. We paddle on a number of rivers throughout the region and regularly run trips to other great destinations throughout the UK and Europe.
We have paddlers of all ages and abilities. Beginners are encouraged to take up the sport, develop their confidence and learn new skills. For more experienced paddlers we offer the opportunity to develop your skills or have fun on the water with other paddlers.We have an active coaching programme that aims to help paddlers develop the skills they need to go paddling in a safe and enjoyable way.
Whether you want paddle kayaks or canadians, take on the challenge of white water, surf, the open sea or just enjoy a quiet paddle down one of our beautiful rivers we will have something for you.
With more than 130 members, an active programme of trips and courses and a large fleet of canoes and kayaks we are able to help beginners get started in this fantastic sport and more experienced paddlers try something new.

A beautiful paddle on 11 miles of the Dart Estuary.
The tides have not been kind to us this year and as a result we'll have to do the normal trip in reverse, travelling up on the incoming tide. Hopefully this may mean that the usual headwind will be a tailwind! My Torbay friends will, I hope, have already done the car shuttle for us so if we drop our boats and kit off at the slipway then park our cars elsewhere as we arrive. Arrival at slipway 10:30, away on the water 11:15.
North Avon Canoe Club’s Training Programme is a great way to learn new skills, develop your confidence in a canoe/kayak and to achieve BCU recognised awards in the sport.
Our qualified coaches will ensure that you develop good paddling technique and have fun too!
PADDLING DATES
Our regular Wednesday evening club nights will recommence on Wednesday 28th April at Saltford.
The first time the boat trailer will be brought down is May 5th where the challenge will be to try as many different boats as you can.
The following week, 12th May is when the formal training will start.
A couple of weekends ago, I had a really good day at Cardiff's new white water course. I would definitely recommend it to any improving white water paddlers. I'll certainly be going again in the summer!
7am on a Sunday is a time that I rarely see. However, Ralph had mustered a seakayaking trip, meeting at Seamills ready to paddle at for 7:30am. As a newcomer to seakayaking and a stranger to the locale around Seamills I met up with Wayne at around 7:10. An interesting little journey followed, wriggling through the outskirts of Bristol to meetup underneath the road bridge close to the river Trym which joins the Avon as it makes its way up to Avonmouth.
First of all I'd like to thank Nigel as the outgoing chairman for all the work and dedication he has put in over the years.
Now Nigel can get on with his mission to convert all us kayakers to open boaters.
So on to more about me......
To start with I'd like to quote you one of my favourite sayings "I live with fear everyday but sometimes she lets me go kayaking"
On and off I've been kayaking since I was in the cubs, but over recent years I've found a passion for white water.
I know within the club we have lots of open boaters & sea kayakers and I look forward to having ago at both skills more this year, but no matter how much I try I will have to leave the tail squirts and cartwheels to the fun boat paddlers, most being our younger members, oh and Brendan !!!!!
So on a closing note feel free to approach me anytime to ask anything, and I will do my best help you out.
Once again from myself and I'm sure all members a big thanks to Nigel.
