Black Isle
9:00am
The weather conditions in Scotland can be at times changable. On this assessment you will be required to paddle at up to sea state 3. The Black Isle is an idealk location for assessments as you have sheltered and exposed areas where you can show the required skills.
We’ll meet up and have a look at suitable locations for the course and get there.
After preparing the kayaks we start heading out and begin with the assessment.
We should be off the water by mid afternoon and then have a look at reviewing the assessment.
