Week 1 - Introduction to canoeing and climbing In the first week the students have got stuck straight into the core skills of climbing and canoeing. Although a few people have some previous experience of canoeing or kayaking the group are all basically beginners. Over the next few weeks they we will concentrating on their canoeing skills with the aim of getting the 3 star award, before advancing to the level 2 coach training. The groups climbing skills are much more diverse, ranging from complete beginners to a few very competent climbers who already have the skills to lead climb. 2 students look likely to complete the SPA training immediately.
