The 25m thing seems odd to me, the river is never more that 5m wide!

No is only 1m deep for most of it to! (Although NEVER try to stand in moving water unless you know what you doing - this will be covered in the safety briefing)

After all the excited chatter about this, after I booked it several folks have dropped out. Now I'm in the hole for the cost of trip currently and have no issues with the folks attending, I know they'll pay up - but I really need some others to join the trip.

Date is 27th April, so if you interested, let me know and I'll add you to the list.

Come on, where are all the big, brave men? Are you going to be outdone by a couple of girls?

I went a month or so back and I can't swim! (although can do doggie paddle when really put under pressure ) The guides didn't tell me to get back on the bus, everything went swellingly and I really enjoyed myself.

I'd love to go again, is there still room? and how much will it be?

P.S. I remember your daughter Luckypants and see her about a lot, tis a small world!

cost is a bit variable because the price is per raft. If we fill it, cost will be around 45-50 quid.
