What we'll do
On this session we will look at taking your tarps from a basic setup using various useful knots, hitches & bends that are easy to untie (really important when working with thin cord under tension), easy to adjust but might just take a little to get your head around depending on how your head works! There will be several absolutely useful tips and tricks to incorporate in to your tarp use and sessions. Once we have looked at setting up basic tarp up we will move on to setting a large base camp tarp up, easy ways to get your tarp high and tight. Ways to make your rigging slick and safe. A fully hands on session which lots of practice to get those knots correct. Might even make it a bit fun :-)

Cancellation Policy
Its free, why cancel :-)

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
