Great Glen Paddle Fest 2012
Details
On Friday 23rd March 2012 the Great Glen Canoe Trail will be
formally opened.
To celebrate the opening and the fantastic paddling
destination of the Great Glen and the Calednonian Canal, British
Waterways Scotland have teamed up with the Scottish Canoe
Association to bring to you the first Great Glen Paddle
Festival.
Based in Fort Augustus, the heart of the Great Glen, this
event will look to promote both canoe and sea kayak disciplines
(crafts recommended for the Canoe Trail) by offering a extensive
range of skill workshops for all level of paddler. To deliver these
workshops we have invited the top coaches in these disciplines to
make this launch truly memorable. You can attend either half day,
full day or even the full weekend of workshops.
On top of this there will be an evening of paddling
presentations given by a number of our guest coaches on Friday, a
paddling exhibition area throughout Saturday afternoon and all day
Sunday with many exhibitor and trade stands to visit.
Our event would not be complete however without a Highland
Ceilidh on the Saturday evening. Hire boats and kit can be
available onsite for those who require however you would need to
book this at the same time as purchasing your workshop and ceilidh
tickets.
