Event Details

When is it? – The 9th UK Storm Gathering will run from March 16 to 18, 2018, based at Celtic Camping & Bunkhouse Accommodation, which is in St Davids, South Wales.

What’s it all about? – The idea is to bring together like minded people wanting to develop their skills and to network with others looking to take their sea kayaking to the next level. There will be challenges, adventures, and fun.

What’s on offer? – The intention is to run a number of practical workshops and journeys covering the themes of Skill, Safety, and Seamanship. Evening sessions will include social events with presentations from guest speakers. A number of retailers and manufacturers have been invited to allow for Q & A opportunities and demo boats.

Who is it for? – Attendance is open to anyone with intermediate sea kayaking skills or above looking for fresh challenges. The ability to wrestle a walrus, paddle around a continent and eat seaguls is not necessary.

What will it cost? – There will be three ticket options:

£150: This provides admission to all event classes and social activities from Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon. It does not include accommodation, meals or t-shirt.

£120: This provides admission to all event activities from Friday evening till Sunday afternoon. It does not include accommodation, meals or symposium t-shirt.

£75: This allows admission to a single day class. It does not include accommodation, meals or symposium t-shirt.
