You will be guided down a section of the picturesque River Wye enjoying the scenery, learning new skills and shooting rapids.
Thank you for organising a truly wonderful two days. We learnt a huge amount and came away even more addicted to the idea of navigating rivers! JC is an excellent guide – professional and friendly and able to convey information really effectively as well as displaying remarkable resilience when dealing with an occasionally sulky teenager and talkative 10 year old.
