Anyone here done this? Thinking about giving it a go with my mate but we're not really very experienced at canoeing. Apologies if I use the incorrect terms.

It looks like most canoe clubs require basic qualifications for river training but it seems like it's a bit late in the year now for lessons etc.

Is it the kind of thing where we could get a K2 and get a qualifiaction privately or in a pool and then launch into serious winter training by ourselves? We both get a lot of time off during the week for training and both have a bit of experience at doing endurance events. (Ironman triathalons, marathons, endurance swimming etc) training would likely be done on the Medway or in the Maidstone Tonbridge area.

Thanks in advance for any information about canoeing or anything else useful.
