Some information about the activity
- Please note that you have to be able to swim to participate in this activity.
- The canals are generally shallow and not very wide, but you will need to be physically able to get yourself to the side in the event of a capsize.
- On the day, please wear clothes suitable for moderate outdoor activity. People tend to stay mostly dry, other than a few paddle splashes.
- You may wish to bring sunscreen, a hat, drinking water and splash-proof jackets or trousers
