This year, Young Bristol were pleased to organise the NABGC Canoe Test, celebrating the 60th year of paddling with young people down the River Wye!
Across the bank holiday weekend, 32 young people from Young Bristol as well as young people associated with the National Association of Boys and Girls Clubs took part in The Canoe Test 2025. The challenge took place over four days, with participants paddling up to 100 miles down the River Wye.
Young people taking part in The Canoe Test showed incredible dedication across the weekend, with the majority completing the full 100 miles! The event saw the group learn life-changing skills, grow their confidence and make friends for life!
The four days of canoeing down the River Wye were all under the expert guidance of Young Bristol's Commercial Activities team, ably supported by a number of volunteers, all giving up their bank holiday weekend to ensure all young people participating in this years Canoe Test had an incredible experience!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this years Canoe Test a truly unforgettable event, celebrating its 60th anniversary. It was amazing to see a weekend full of learning, laughter and friendship-building!
