Trips

What do we have to offer?

Rhys Oakley, South Wales trip 2024

Throughout the year, we offer an abundance of trips for you to get involved in! From beginner trips to advanced paddling, there is no shortage of opportunities for you. They are also great for meeting new people and making lasting memories!

Read below to see all the trips we run…

The Dart Loop

Every weekend we aim to run a local trip that welcomes club members of all abilities!

With Dartmoor on our doorstep, we take advantage of Devon’s beautiful scenery as much as possible. Whether you’re a pro or trying out canoe for the first time, you’ll get the chance to paddle the ‘dart loop’, led by our safety team. It’s a brilliant chance to escape uni work, improve your kayaking skills and meet new people in the club!

Sign ups for trips open on Mondays and confirmations are sent out on Thursdays. These trips are open to everyone of any ability as long as you’ve completed a deck test at one of our pool sessions and have a membership!

Our Freshers trip to Bude

Get stuck into Canoe by joining us on our first trip of the year to the Cornish coast!

In term 1 we run a weekend trip to Bude where we stay in a local campsite (with a teepee!) and kayak in the waves on Bude beaches. This is an excellent chance for freshers to meet the club and get a taste of the rest of the year. This is open for all abilities so a great chance for new kayakers to get some experience! We also help each other learn new skills in the waves and are encouraging in stepping outside our comfort zones.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Cardiff International White Water Centre

We love visiting CIWW…

We regularly use the Cardiff artificial white water course to improve our paddling. It never fails to give us a thrilling set of laps and all in an environment that is different to many of our usual rivers.

Paddlefest also runs each year and is an exciting day full of paddling and meeting other kayakers. From the infamous Ducky Derby to freestyle competitions, this mini festival has something for everyone and is a brilliant day out!
