Gold Canoeing Expeditions

In order to complete your Gold Canoeing Expedition you first need to complete a programme of training followed by sufficient practice expeditions to hone your skills.

Once you have completed all of your training you then need to plan and undertake a 4 day qualifying expedition. In order to complete the Bronze Expedition section you first need to complete a programme of training followed by sufficient practice expeditions to hone your skills. Once you have completed all of your training you then need to plan and undertake a 2 day qualifying expedition.

I just wanted to thank your whole team for an amazing Gold expedition experience this week. I have completed both Bronze and Silver but never enjoyed the expeditions as much.
