Hi All, Ronan asked me to post this we have been looking into other possible alternatives, this course run by Kipper and Brian Keogh sounds like it could be a more suitable and beneficial course as its more Kayak based The cost is 120 for the weekend below is the syllabus but they also taylor it to the group - Based in Wicklow at the pinic area but if the group is stong enough day 2 to is held at Jacksons Day 1 • Course brief 9.30am • Equipment check • Rope work, Throwing, Knots, belaying & anchors. • Boat chasing • Lunch. • Boat chasing • River crossing • Defensive swimming • Rescues in moving water • Throw ropes live bait • Rope set ups Zip lines V lowers • Light scenario • Finish 16.00pm Day 2 • Start course 930am • River trip/ what to bring • Setting up of rescue cover on rapids • Leadership. • Position on the river • Lunch some were on the river • Safety awareness. • Prevention on rapids. • Several scenarios. • Debrief • Finish 16.00pm

Would these courses suit me, I tend to be the rescued more than the rescuer . . .
