College students have started paddling their way to success as they tested out new kit.

Capel Manor College, in Bullsmoor Lane, Enfield, is now ready for the autumn term with the arrival of their new kit for students starting their outdoor adventure courses this September.

New kayaks, canoes and other outdoor adventure equipment has been collected by the course tutor to ensure they were available for testing at the college’s summer school last week.

The new outdoor adventure students, who will be starting this September, joined the summer school to give break in the new equipment.

Perry O’Connor, 17, said: “I had a great time at summer school, I really can’t wait to start at Capel in September, the course is going to be epic and will give me the skills I need for the outdoor industry.”
