Full Day Workshop
Plan your next adventure on the water
Spend a day with Brendon Prince working through what it takes to turn an idea for a challenge on the water into a realistic expedition plan. Bring a route you’ve had your eye on, a charity challenge or the first outline of something bigger.
Saturday 6 February 2027 · 9am–5pm
£260 per person · Lunch included · Limited Places · Shore-based
What we’ll cover
- Route planning and navigation. Read forecasts, make sense of tides and water conditions, and identify launch points, landing options and alternative routes. We’ll look at access, rights of way and maritime rules relevant to planning your trip.
- Kit and life on expedition. Work through packing and carrying equipment, clothing, waterproofing, spares and repairs. Plan what you’ll eat and drink and how you’ll manage fatigue.
- Safety and decision making. Agree what would make you delay, change route or call it a day. Work through shore contacts, emergency communications, first aid awareness and self-rescue scenarios from shore.
- Sponsorship and fundraising. Learn how to approach suitable sponsors, explain what you can offer and tell the story of your challenge through photography and updates.
How the day runs
Morning. Define your goal, work through your route and conditions, and decide where you’d change the plan if needed.
Afternoon. Get hands-on with kit, work through expedition scenarios and look at sponsorship and storytelling. There’s time after the workshop to chat and ask more questions.
Who it’s for
Open to anyone who spends time on the water, including SUP paddlers, open-water swimmers, kayakers, rowers and canoeists. You might be planning a local adventure, a longer journey, a fundraiser or a record attempt. Bring an idea at any stage. You’ll leave with a draft route, kit and communications plan, plus practical next steps.
