Paddle Making during a canoe building course

We sometimes run stand alone paddle making courses. These are ideal for groups, families, or individuals who can come and spend half a day or so with us making their own paddle.  We can put these on at short notice, and for groups of from one to six paddle-makers. It clearly makes more sense to us if there is a group of 4 or 5 of you, so we try and reflect that in the pricing, which starts at £100 for a single paddle, and gradually gets cheaper as you add more people. We have not had more than 6 making paddles with us as yet... we feel it is important to keep the groups small as we can then give you the any attention you may need along the way, but we could in theory ( and Covid permitting) take a larger group if, say, a Canoeing Club wanted to come and have a day here, or even stay over in one of the cabins.

Most people seize the opportunity to take one of our canoes up the river here while they are with us. Here a group are trying out the paddles they made with us. The river is rather swollen on this photo;  normally we can see the bottom of the river, and watch the fish.
