The Paddling:
5 days of paddling. An opportunity to push your paddling to the next level on a range of grade 3-4 working on the technical and tactical skills needed. To paddle any grade of water we believe there are only a handful of techniques and tactics required, we will re-introduce you to these on day one and continually reinforce them throughout the week until they are second nature.
We aim to paddle as many of the "classic" rivers as we can during this trip and aim for them to be different each day unless the group decides they want to revisit a particular river. Rivers that could be paddled depending on the group and water levels - Etive, Orchy, Spean, Roy, Arkaig, Findhorn, Garry, Tummel, Lyon & Moriston .
What’s unique about our trips is that there is much more than just paddling. With our experience and local knowledge collected from the past 10 plus years, you’ll get opportunities on and off the water to see an array of incredible wildlife, historic sights and breathtaking views.
Accommodation and Food:
Everyone will have their own private room during the trip. You will be sharing the rest of the cottage with the group (max person per cottage four). The cottage has an open plan living room/dining room/kitchen and a bathroom, washing machine, Wi-Fi and a drying area outside for wet kit. Bedding and towels are provided. As with all our adventures we offer this as self-catering, this allows the flexibility to cook communally, individually or head to the pub.
If you’re a couple or friends who don’t mind sharing a room, we can offer a slightly discounted rate for people who want to share a room, please get in contact with us for this pricing info@rapidskills.co.uk
Have peace of mind knowing that your guide has had a good night’s rest as they are also staying in quality accommodation.

Client Reviews
"Had the best week in Scotland. Some of the most professional guiding/ coaching I’ve come across. Great atmosphere on and off the water. Cant wait to paddle with Rapid Skills again!"
"Loved every minute of it, Josh gave us clear simple short instructions at the right time. He then demonstrated that by running the section showing us what he meant. There was no pressure to run sections that were harder."
