Packrafting is awesome!
But sometimes, one day it's just a little too little...
So enjoy it for a whole weekend!
Once a month, I (Thomas/Grizzly) accompany you on an Ardennes river for a weekend of adventure and nature.
With a campsite as our base camp (where all our overnight gear and dry clothes can wait for us, along with all the basic amenities like toilets and hot showers), we will navigate 2 different stretches of river.
The location will be determined in the week before the event because I adapt the activity to the level of the rivers as well as that of the registered participants. Generally, the weekend takes place around either Bouillon or La Roche en Ardenne.
When registering, please provide a phone number to be added to the event Whatsapp group.
For any further questions, I am available at 0490199469 or grizzlyoutdoorpr@gmail.com.
Together with my friend Mathias from Packraften.be we are organizing the Benelux Packrafting Meetup.
What is a meetup? It is a gathering of enthusiasts who exchange ideas for a few days (here 4) around packrafting.
On the program:
- a day of training on white water safety on Friday.
- navigation on Luxembourg and Walloon rivers on Saturdays and Sundays
- a Testival on Monday where you can try out different boats from different brands!
Information and registration in the link!
In July, I'm taking you to the south of France to explore the Alpine rivers!
In collaboration with Hike2River, I offer you a discovery/improvement course in whitewater.
For beginners or those who have never tried white water, I recommend the first week.
For those who have the basics and want to progress, the second week is for you!
