There are 12 places on this course and it will run for the full day. I am hoping to get as many instructors, guides, river leaders, athletes as possibe together for this course to try and get as much out of it as possible.
The price of the course is 65 Euros (normally 95 Euros). Send me a mail if you are interested.
