The Navigation course was really good
The Navigation course was really good, we covered all the basics over the day, I'm looking forward to putting the skills I learned into practice and not relying on my phone all the time. Aaron was a great instructor, he was very thorough and had a substantial knowledge of the local area. If, like me you've been hesitating and wondering whether to go, just do it, you won't regret it!
I have wanted to learn some map reading…
I have wanted to learn some map reading skills for ages and can honestly say this experience was spot on as an introduction. The route was just right to get some idea of how practical a map is to get you looking at your surroundings rather than blindly following a dotted line on your phone. Highly recommended and essential skill if you are a regular walker relying on your technology too much. A1 +++++
3 person canoe is a must for any beginner.
Had a great experience in the 3 person canoe. Myself my 12yo and 7yo thoroughly enjoyed. We had lots of giggles and even managed to pick a blackberry or two en route!
Chris was lovely and explained everything well. Made us rookies feel at ease. Will definitely be booking again.
Very Good
Great introduction to paddleboarding session at Chesterfield Canal.
Paddleboarding
Chris took 10 of are scouts paddleboard this week and they all loved it and want to do it again soon. Chris was such a good instructor with his knowledge and experience of paddleboarding he got them all doing it in no time at all. I would fully recommend him to anyone wanting to have a go at paddleboarding l.
Excellent first time paddle
My sister and I had a great time paddle boarding with Chris. He was very informative and patient with us both! We would definitely recommend CJB and hope to paddle again with them.
We had a great time on the paddle…
We had a great time on the paddle boards and kayak
Can’t wait to go back
Fantastic day
Fantastic day. Even in the first 15 minutes I felt as though I'd learned a huge amount. Thoroughly recommend!
Paddle boarding taster session
First time paddle boarding and really enjoyed myself. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be and with Chris's guidance and instruction I managed to pick it up fairly quickly and didn't fall in once. Really nice guy to be trained by and he knows his stuff!
Excellent Paddle boarding instructor
I had a fantastic experience paddle boarding with Chris. He is very knowledgeable and his session was fun and interesting. As a beginner, I felt very safe and would definitely recommend him to others.
I'm looking forward to my next session.
For a safe enjoyable experience
Chris is a great instructor, he is reliable, conscientious and empathetic. Looking for your first adventure then Chris is your man. He will keep you safe whilst educating you. That's why I employed him as a college lecturer in my outdoor sports course.
