Enjoying a Welcome...
...to enjoy their sport canoeists need to be welcome
1 Be friendly and polite to local residents
2 Drive slowly with care and consideration
3 Park sensibly without causing any obstruction
4 Be as quiet as possible
5 Unload kit tidily and take all litter home
6 Get changed out of public view
7 Get permission before going onto private property
8 Avoid wildlife disturbance and environmental damage
9 Be considerate to other water users
10 Avoid being an intrusion on local life
11 Support local businesses if you can
12 Say “Thank You” for any help you receive
13 Leave no trace of your visit
14 Follow the Country Code (see below)
Note. This document is available on the BCU website. Basically it is common sense, be courteous to others and you will command their respect.
Enjoy your paddling
