Upper Dart Progression Session

A full day on the Upper Dart focused entirely on you and how you want to develop. Rather than working through a fixed syllabus, we’ll use the river as it presents on the day—picking apart features, lines, and decisions that are relevant to your goals and your paddling style.

Whether you want to refine your movement, build confidence in continuous water, tidy up your river-reading, or just get some constructive input while paddling a classic run, the session is shaped around what you need most.

It’s a relaxed, supportive day with space to stop, chat, experiment, and try different approaches. The aim is simple: help you paddle the Upper Dart with more clarity, consistency, and control.

This course is best suited for confident class 3 and 4 paddlers with a reliable roll.

£100 per person, get in touch via Facebook or WhatsApp for details and booking.
