The route is part of the planning.

Locations are examples for discussion, rather than fixed departures or a guarantee that a particular route will be used. The final plan considers the award level, craft, group experience, access, campsites and expected conditions.

GoSport also holds planning material for Thames practice journeys. Tell us if your school has a preferred region or wants to connect training, practice and qualifying journeys.

The team’s expedition aim, navigation and day-to-day decisions are prepared alongside the paddling. Joining information confirms the agreed route and practical arrangements.

Your next step

Let’s shape your expedition.

Tell us the award level, group numbers, paddling experience and preferred dates. We’ll discuss training, suitable locations, equipment and a tailored quotation.

Your enquiry starts a conversation. Dates, route, programme and final arrangements are agreed with GoSport and your DofE leader.
