PeterB Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I got an email from Dave Corbin in the UK, where Dave just passed his BCU (British Canoe Union) 5 star assessment , in Pembrokeshire , Wales. The BCU 5 star award certifies that the paddler is qualified to lead paddlers in the most challenging conditions that paddlers might be be out there in the first place, and reflects the highest level of proficiency in personal paddling skills , seamanship, leadership, and judgment . His is a great achievement.Congratulations Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prudenceb Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Having spent time in challenging (for me!) waters this year with both Dave and Caroline, I am not the least bit surprised to hear that both passed. Congratulations to both for jobs well done!pru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcorbin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for your kind words folks. Getting to 5 Star does in fact take a lot of focus and dedication, but it is in my opinion very achievable. When I started on the path 3 years ago it was clear I had a lot of work to do. I got there though, and if it's something that appeals to you, you should give yourself a chance. If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to reach out.Cheers,Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Sylvester Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Well done and congratulations. Who was your assessor in so Wales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcorbin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks Paul. The lead assessor was Steve Graham. Steve is from NE England. I've worked with Steve in Pembrokeshire a couple of times now and he is really great to work with. John Carmody was an assessor as well, and Nige Robinson was also involved.
