Otherwise you can search the Internet for BCU.

You will find lots of relevant information helping you with your quest.

I hope this has been of some help .

Answer 3

Keep away from the Thames if you're a beginner!

There's lots of good clubs along the Thames that will teach you safely.

Go to the British Canoe Union website (bcu.org.uk) and get a list of clubs near you.

Happy kayaking.
