Pentland Canoe Club
Welcome to the Pentland Canoe Club Website
Based in Thurso, on the north coast of Scotland, the Club enjoys some of the best canoeing and kayaking in the world. Caithness and Sutherland offer a fantastic variety of environments for kayaking. We have miles of amazing coastline and islands to explore, world renowned surf, loads of lochs and even a river or two.
So whether you are new to kayaking and looking for tuition or an experienced paddler looking for paddling companions this area has lots to offer and our website is a great place to find out all about it. A look at our photo galleries will give you a taste of what we get up to and the club has an extensive stock of boats and kit available if you haven’t got your own.
I would encourage any interested novices to attend our winter pool sessions where our UKCC qualified coaches will teach you all the necessary skills in the safety and relative warmth of the pool. During the summer months you can then progress through the BCU Paddlesport scheme which will then enable you to go on our sea and river outings. And if you’re really keen you can do coaching qualifications through the club as well.
The club is very fortunate in its location, since our environment allows us to participate in most forms of recreational paddling:
This site aims to give a flavour of the club activities along with a range of information that should prove useful to members and visitors alike. If you need any more information about the club and our activities please Contact Us.
