WhiteWater Rafting Trip - SV650.org

Luckypants · 27-01-08, 09:46 PM

Several folks have expressed an interest in trying white water rafting. We are lucky in the BP area in that we have a year round facility at Canolfan Tryweryn near Bala. My daughter is a raft guide at the center and so I can arrange a trip for everyone if there is enough interest.

So folks, who's up for this?

EDIT: Have added a poll of possible dates. It is a multiple choice poll, so tick all the weekends you can make. The results are public so you can see who is going on which weekends if you really want to be with someone.

You can sit in the bailer bucket....... So that still leaves 8 seats in one raft!

Love to, but cant swim, well maybe 10 ft but thats it

No need to be able to swim Stewie, the raft guides get beasted for losing clients over the side. Also the river is only about 15 foot wide and two feet deep, but you need to take heed of safety briefing about standing in fast water....

Would be no problem for a non-swimmer and is also a great family day out (cos the missus can sit in the cafe and watch you go by, while laughing at your folly

)
