Any update on the REC course Mark?
Just a thought for all of those interested, but the REC 3 training would really only be appropriate for anyone who wants to do an instructor training course or if you are planning on doing a lot of outdoor sports.
Of course there is nothing wrong with first aid training for anyone, but just bear it in mind that you don't need to do it at all as all of the instructors and most of the senior paddlers are trained and qualified and carry first aid kits with us on the rivers.
