+An un-coached/led group consists of at least 3 x Whitewater Award (3*) level paddlers, all of whom have WWSR. There is no “buddying” scheme to enable less experienced paddlers in the group.
 A suitable river should be found for the whole group, to avoid less experienced members being pressured into running a river potentially beyond their capabilities on a club trip. If numbers allow, it is acceptable to divide a larger un-coached/led group into smaller groups of paddlers wishing to paddle different sections/rivers.
