💬 What Paddlers Say:

“A fantastic morning in the sun! I’d highly recommend Holme Pierrepont – it’s as challenging and interesting as the Dart Loop or Legacy course. The river-fed flow makes it dynamic, and having 7 safety volunteers meant I could push my limits knowing help was there. Great vibes, great paddlers, and brilliant informal coaching from Dan. I’ll definitely be back!”
— Susanna, 2023 attendee

🏞️ About Holme Pierrepont (HPP):

Holme Pierrepont is a river-fed whitewater course, meaning the conditions change with water levels — perfect for building real river skills.
The site is well-equipped with parking, facilities (though yes, the showers are famously cold!), and has a great paddling atmosphere.

🧭 Don’t Miss Out!

The WAM Laser Weekend at HPP is a must for paddlers looking for excitement, learning, and an epic weekend with like-minded whitewater fans. Grab your ticket, load up your boat, and hit the rapids.
