What you will experience
The sequence of weirs gives the descent its rhythm. Some passages are narrower and more technical, requiring river-reading skills and agility; this is not the walking-and-swimming activity in the same region.
Along the route
The programme follows the Ceira's weirs and narrow sections. The programme can use double kayaks and the option of singles for experienced participants; the boat arrangement belongs in the outing's proposal.
Requirements & preparation
Previous canoeing experience is essential and calls for good fitness. Prepare for contact with water and progression through technical sections.
