D4DR WW | What is D4DR? | Who are D4DR? | What's on offer? | Itinerary | D4DR 2008Our itinerary shows a wide scope of destinations, different paddling opportunities and several formal training courses.
Weeks 1-2
Warm-up. We’ll get your paddling juices flowing with a warm up. We’ll get to know the group with a couple of days of just paddling together to bond as a team. We’ll cover the SRT basic rescue qualification and the three day REC first aid course. We’ll do some intensive work on your personal skills to give you a firm basis for the rest of the course.
Weeks 3-4
Road trip. We’ll start to travel beyond the Soca to cover not just logistics, but also the skills you need to lead on unfamiliar waters and varied types of river. We’ll also cover more advanced rescue techniques on the SRT advanced course. We’ll gradually work our way west through Oest Tyrol and finish on some of the Alpine classics in Tyrol, Austria.
Weeks 5-6
A change of boat. It’s time to make the jump to rafts to sharpen up river guiding skills and work towards the Austrian raft guiding certificate. We’ll aim to raft various different rivers, including sections of the Inn, Oetz and Sanna to cover everything from the tight and the technical to the big and powerful. We’ll also aim to assess for the BCU L3 Trip Leader raft guide award.
Weeks 7-8
The culmination of the trip. This is the time to bring everything we’ve learnt together as we travel back to Slovenia and beyond. We’ll follow a few days in Slovenia concluding any assessments, and then head on a trip to Montenegro where our trainees will guide a multi-day raft-support trip down the Tara. Each student can offer up to two places on the trip to friends and family and put what they’ve learnt into practice.
