This August, visitors to Edinburgh can discover the peaceful side of the city from kayak, canoe or paddleboard with Forth Canoe Club. Away from the hectic buzz of the city centre, in the quiet surroundings of the historic Union Canal, a team of qualified, friendly instructors will help visitors get on the water and have a mini-expedition. No experience is required. This session is suitable for complete beginners as well as anyone who has paddled before and wants to get back into watersport activities. Sessions are at 11.00am and 13.30pm and last for 90 minutes where you will be on the water for approximately one hour. It is strongly recommended to have a change of clothes and shoes, just in case! Everything else is provided, just wear clothes you can get a little wet in. Kids 8-15 years of age may attend if accompanied by an adult.
