This course is aimed at people who have been on an introductory course or are at a BCU 2-3* level, and are keen to discover what multi day trips are all about.  We will learn how to plan a trip and load our kayaks with everything we need for an overnight trip before setting off to discover the wonders of the Cornish coastline.  We will look out for dolphins, seals and basking sharks along the way to a spot suitable for wild camping.  During the paddle it is possible to work on a variety of skills to help with your boat handling.  The main emphasis of this course is to introduce you to the skills needed to plan an overnight trip and how to handle a kayak to get you where you want to go.  We want you to experience why we love sea kayaking so much and help you explore the amazing scenery on our doorstep.

Have you ever wondered what is around that next headland? Have you ever spent enough time on the sea for it to become a lifestyle not just a day trip or a weekend jolly.  We hope that by the end of the course you will feel inspired enough to really explore the wonders of sea kayaking.  On this five day expedition we hope to show you just what sea kayaking means to us.  On Monday morning we will set off in our transport to the most suitable start point.  We will have ratios of no more than 5 clients to one instructor and so can adjust the journey to suit your needs.  The expedition is aimed at intermediate kayakers that have either attended an introductory course and want to really get going or are close to the BCU 3* level.  If the weather is not suitable for a continuous journey we will take the opportunity to cherry pick the best locations around Cornwall.

We will be joined by Chris from Wild Wise who is an expert in wild foods and bushcraft skills.  During the weekend you will have the opportunity to learn how to fish from the kayaks, forage for shellfish and seaweeds as well as make fires and cook on an open fire.  We will camp at a local wild camping spot and explore the amazing coastline on our doorstep. You do not need to have previous sea kayak experience but it would help to be able to do the basic strokes.  This is also a great course if you are an experienced kayaker as the main emphasis is on the wild foods and bushcraft and using the kayaks to access the coastal environment.
