Coastal Navigation Course in Cumbria
Steve ran a Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning course for four aspirant Sea Kayak Leaders. We covered appropriate weather and associated conditions in a variety of environments; tide and the gathering of tidal information to enable safe and effective planning and trips; practical trip planning and navigation methods; pilotage; buoyage and more besides. It was a full, interesting and beneficial day for all concerned.
With the regular stream of media stories concerning people paddling on the sea having problems with conditions they weren’t aware of or expecting, this course is ideal for novice and competent paddlers alike, whatever their craft, to raise awareness and to assist with good decision making.
Steve runs the Coastal Navigation course regularly over the year and will be happy to support paddlers from all disciplines who wish to learn more so they can stay safe on the sea. The next dates are 6th March 2023 and 21st March 2023. If you’d like to know more or book on please get in touch on 07796 213817 or steve@stevebanksoutdoors.co.uk
