The club holds its weekly summer pond sessions on Tuesday evenings at Musselburgh Lagoons between 7pm and 9pm which start on the first Tuesday in June and end on the last Tuesday in August. However on the last Tuesday of each month we have an evening beginner trip instead which is usually at the canal, a reservoir or a gentle river.

​

These sessions are open to all abilities including complete beginners. We bring the club trailer with boats, paddles and kit for those who cannot transport their own gear. Advance booking is required at the following link only for those who need a coached session and/or need to hire equipment:

​

These are NOT lifeguarded sessions and paddlers are responsible for their own safety. The duty coach is there to offer support and advice only and is not responsible for the safety of all on the water. It is also worth knowing that the park is a public shared space and there are no changing facilities or toilets. 

 

We rely on a rota of volunteers to help with admin and coaching.

​

Please note children attending must be accompanied by at least one responsible adult. This can be a parent, guardian or named guardian for the day.

​

All new members must fill in a membership form on their first night.

​

If you think you may have any additional needs with regard to participating in pond sessions, it will be helpful if you can contact us to discuss your needs prior to attending your first pond session. Please email our Equality and Diversity Champion: equality_and_diversity@edinburghkayak.com

​

Pond sessions are free except for a charge for the hire of equipment where applicable:

Adults: £7.50 (Equipment only) / £15 (Equipment and transport)

Juniors/Unwaged: £5 (Equipment only) / £10 (Equipment and transport)
