Kent Association for the Blind Canoe Event

Charlotte Curtis of the Medway Countryside Partnership has arranged canoe safaris

When?

Saturday 16th August and 6th September to be run by Ed Bassett who is a fully qualified instructor.

These will be full days from about 9.30 until 4.30pm.

What will happen?

The day will conclude kitting up, making sure people are able to control their canoes, a trip along the river Medway, lunch and if time, games...!

(The canoe trip will leave from Yalding, Charlotte can offer a lift to people from Maidstone to Yalding)

There will be health and safety form to fill in prior to the activity, so people are insured.

Who can come?

The days are open to all and aim to be fully accessible, if anyone needs extra support in the canoe, just say before hand.

Ed is also happy to have a chat through with people who may have concerns and meet with people if they need extra support to asses what equipment would be needed.

Cost?

The event is mainly funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund, but a donation of £5 to help cover the cost is required.

Booking?

Spaces are limited - so early booking essential!
