Got a Social Group - Take Them White Water Rafting

White water rafting is not something that people do that often or if atoll so it can be a new experience and great fun to take you social group. It can be a great activity for stag and hen weekends, or corporate groups. If you go to a center that offers white water rafting expertness then no river or white-water rafting experience is normally necessary. Full training should be given and each raft should have a white water professional / group leader.

You can normally fit between 8 and 12 people in a boat and your experience can often last around 2 hours with multiple trips down the river or man made course. If you have a larger group then you might want to use several boats to accommodate you all. Most white water rafting activates tend to be based in Wales, and Scotland as they generally have more dramatic scenery with faster running and higher difficulty Grade Rivers. There are a few in England although not many. You can find man made runs in Nottingham and Northampton or Teeside. Some centers in England offer so called white water rafting put it actually involves having a ride in a boat at high speed down a river or on the sea. To help you find suitable places to go, you can see a number of rivers and centers below.

In the summer it is a gentle trickle, but add typical Scottish weather from September onwards and the trickle grows into a raging torrent!
