This is what Saturdays are for! Our cadets love being out on the water, as do our staff 💦 This was our last outdoor paddling session for this year. Moving into winter, we hope to deliver skills sessions at the local pool ready for another summer season of adventure!

Well, that's officially our last event of 2021! Over the past two days, our staff have been completing their Lowland Leader assessments. On their new qualifications. We look forward to seeing them putting them to good use in 2022 🥳

Another weekend in the great outdoors! This weekend a group of our cadets and staff have been enjoying the good weather in Buckden, Yorkshire Dales. Thank you to the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association for taking their time to demonstrate their equipment!

A weekend in the Lake District is all you need to reset! Last weekend we visited Coniston in the Lake District. We spent a day walking in Little Langdale and another day enjoying the sun from Conison Water with a short paddling journey!

Thank you to West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for putting on a great visit for our cadets on Tuesday night at Killingbeck Fire Station 🚒 A tour was given of the station and Engines and the cadets took part in a dam building exercise which was used to feed the hoses! The visit was great fun!

Once again, another successful Wednesday night paddling session at Roundhay Park! The cadets are coming a long way developing their skills and getting comfortable being on the water (and in the water) 💧
