Post by: Mark on January 15, 2008, 23:09:35: Hey guys, not sure what the guys doing the course will want but its possible they wont need everyone to have every bit of kit on the list. I know of assessments where the assessor was happy if all of the gear on the list was on the river between the 4 people doing the assessment.

But, if you want to be paddling at a level 4 standard, you need to own your own rope and knife. You can get throw ropes for around 40 euros in i-canoe.com or gods with our club discount.
