Testimonials

β€œOllie has adapted the whole of the two days to how I would learn best which meant I got the very best out of the two days. Ollie is patient, Calm, Safe, Fun & over all a good human.”
— Alice
β€œThe quality of the coaching was second to none. An experienced tutor myself, I’ve had lots of coaching over the years but this was of the highest standard. Absolutely fantastic. I felt supported for the whole time on the water. I came away absolutely thrilled.”
— Mark Ratcliff
β€œAmazing week-end with Ollie taking us on a multi-family guided trip. Beyond his obvious skills on the river and on camp Ollie has managed to adapt to our group of dads/young children and to get each one of us involved and to progress significantly. We felt safe and entertained while having a real adventure. His calm and patience are a great example for kids (and dads!) - very much doubt this is our last adventure with him.”
— Vincent Clairac
β€œOllie thanks for your excellent mentoring of me for my level 2 portfolio a few weeks ago with our 5 open canoe students, I am pleased to say I passed my assessment, so thanks again for your excellent coaching advice.”
— Tom Fasham
