Please note that there are very limited places in vehicles for unaccompanied minors this year. These will be confirmed on a first come, first served basis and only if all other requirements have been met and all necessary arrangements made. Kindly contact us asap and we can discuss options.
PERSONAL INSURANCES:
Goes without saying, but check your passport expiry date, arrange an EHIC card, personal medical insurance, car insurance overseas and car breakdown insurance. The medical insurance MUST cover you for kayaking on grade 3/4 waters, if you’re going to be paddling. Dogtag insurance & Insureandgo both offer good deals.
EQUIPMENT INSURANCE:
Club boats are NOT insured for Europe. Please check with BCU for advice/contacts for insuring your boats for the duration. If you are borrowing a boat/equipment, you are also responsible for insuring it.
