Advanced White-Water skills and safety/Level 5 Training.

(1/9) > >>

rog:
Hey Guys,
    I'm thinking of organising a 2 day paddling course aimed at those paddlers in the club who have achieved their Level 4 ICU proficiency, have since been paddling a while, and as a result, are paddling at a level a certain amount higher then that which is demonstrated for the Level 4 assessment.
 
Depending on interest and numbers this could simply take the form of ICU Level 5 training, or if people would rather go for something slightly, shall we say less intense, I could organise something like an advanced White-Water skills/safety weekend, on, at the very least Annamoe at a very high level, or the Dargle or something around that kind of level. It would be run by, availability wise, kipper, Dave Carroll, etc.

So if people could post up, or pm me their interest, and their interest in what kind of training, then when/if I get a good idea of numbers i'll look into organising an instructor and a weekend.

It'll be difficult to get appropriate water levels and a suitable instructor for the same weekend so, before I even start looking into instructors I need interest and numbers.

Cheers guys, Roger.

Wow roger this sounds pretty damn super! While I dont think i'd be quite up to level 5 standard i'd love to either do the training course or an advanced White-Water skills/safety weekend. This is a class Idea and I really hope it gets off the ground so if you need any help organisation wise do let me know.

JODY:
Wow i was only joking when i asked about level 5 skills a while back... but i'm always up for (& in need of) a bit of training.

You can count me in if this goes ahead & is not waaaaaaaaaay beyond my capabilities   :) 

Matt:
I'd definitely be interested in this, I just have to do the level 4 assessment.

fityounggranny:
I might be completely wrong on this but i thought level 5 proficiency assesments are usually carried out in the French Alps.
Partly due to guarenteed water, but also because the rivers are harder.

A level 5 proficiency has to be done on a level 4 river. which the Annamoe, even in huge water, is not, maybe jacksons, but that is only 1 rapid!

Having said all that im still waiting on the level 4, so hmmmph!
