To book a place phone 0845 634 6022 (local rate call). It's also possible to book online at the Grafham Water Centre website. Places are limited and so early booking might be a good idea, especially for the January course. The cost for the standard weekend is £163.00 per person.

I should mention that the accommodation at Grafham is a bit basic, and most people have to sleep in shared dorms. To get a single room you have to book well in advance.

There is also bed-and-breakfast accommodation within walking distance.

The Centre is now embarking on a major project to upgrade the facilities, including building a new accommodation block and extra conference rooms.
