Planning Trips
This course will help you plan trips on rivers such as the Hamble as well as canals, lakes, tidal estuaries and coastal journeys.
The course is divided into 3 parts:
Must-know knowledge
We'll look at the knowledge that you need to have before setting off - things like when and where you need a permit or permission, navigation channels, dealing with hypothermia, recognising dangerous and safe weirs and how to get help in an emergency.
Understanding the variables
We'll have a look at wind, weather and tides - what you need to know and the apps and websites we can use to gather information.
Practice
We have a bundle of example trips you can plan, or bring your own ideas. Either way we'll provide a template to use and guide you step by step as you put together a plan for the trip.
