Plan a Paddle

Once you decide to take on the Great Glen Canoe Trail, there will be a number of factors to decide upon.

These include;

• the type of craft (Open canoe, sea kayak or touring kayak)
• group size (safety in numbers/ size of group for wildcamping)
• experience in group (ability of paddlers including rescue skills)
• guided or self guided (See Guided Trips page) 
• duration of trail (is the trail route planned do able) 
• food planning (Buying food on the trail will help reduce portage weight)
• setting dates  (remember to register 7 days in advance for your canoe licence)

Within the website we have included some suggestions to help you with the planning process.

Time spent planning will certainly ensure you have a more enjoyable and safer adventure.
