Two Star course feedback.


Just a note of thanks to say how much I enjoyed the BCU Two Star Award course. I've no doubt its improved my ability and confidence on the water and it was great to spend some time on and around the Cornish coastline in a variety of craft. The last day was a definite highlight, but the trip down the Helford in the open top canoes was also an great experience and one that I had not anticipated. Cheers! Jacues Talbot
