Come join us for a weekend packed full of whitewater kayaking and partying on Scotland's West (Best!) coast. The day events are held on the rivers Moriston (grade 4/5) and Garry (Grade 3), where a shuttle service is provided to get you from the carpark to the river. We have a ceilidh and raffle on the Saturday night, and there is an informal social on Friday night. 

• Friday 15th Evening - Registration & Social @ Fort William Venue TBC 
• Saturday 16th Day - River Moriston Paddling 
• Saturday 16th Evening - Social, Ceilidh and Raffle - Ben Nevis Hotel, Fort William 
• Sunday 17th Day - River Garry Paddling

Pre-booking your ticket online will be cheaper than buying it at the weekend and makes life easier for the organisers. Shuttles will be running up and down both rivers during the day, and a central parking location will be provided. Wristbands which you will receive at registration will get you on the shuttle, and into the party etc so do not lose it.

You can watch some action from previous years here!

Safety, Accidents & First Aid

If you are involved in, or, witness an accident related to the event, please come to the SCA desk at the first opportunity with as much information as you can.

Our volunteers (likely in hi-vis clothing) will be patrolling the banks and driving shuttles on the day - they are your first port of call. They have contact with first aid to get help quickly. Our volunteers and first aid will be at both rivers, please look out for them riverbank, at the dam lay-by on the Moriston or the SCA tent on both rivers. A note on water cleanliness - both rivers are known to be relatively clean, but please be mindful of this in any case!

On the river, paddle safely and within your limits. If you are in doubt, caution means that you’ll be there for another day. If you need advice, please consult the SCA guidebook, or speak to someone at the SCA desk. Please paddle sensibly as per a normal day out, i.e. in groups of three or greater, with paddling ability adequate to safely navigate the river. As with any trip, take a few minutes to think how to avoid unnecessary hazards - ensure you have adequate equipment, clothing and nourishment available, do a bit of a warmup to make sure you're fired up and ready!

Safeguarding Children
