They\u2019re regular three hour sessions which take place most weekends from March to October, and once again are for those who haven\u2019t had any experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more about the activities offered by DC Outdoors here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dcoutdoors.co.uk\/courses\">https:\/\/www.dcoutdoors.co.uk\/courses<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20220320_DSCF8681_SAM_MCQUEEN-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20220320_DSCF8681_SAM_MCQUEEN-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20220320_DSCF8681_SAM_MCQUEEN-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20220320_DSCF8681_SAM_MCQUEEN-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DC Outdoors are hosting a Canoe Taster experience at the Victoria Quays in Castlegate on March 17th.
