Great fun: unique and exhilarating experience - Went on the penultimate day of the season with my brother for a belated birthday celebration. There were 6 of us taking part that session. Aaron led the river bugging brilliantly, explaining what we were letting ourselves in for, making sure we all knew what to do, leading us down the rapids and collecting us when we needed. His humour, expertise and helpfulness made him a perfect leader for the activity. The river bugging was great fun and scenery stunning. The equipment kept us warm enough even at the end of October and it was an exhilarating experience.

River Bug fun - A thoroughly great experience. Great fun and very well run by staff. The river was running a bit rapid but definitely added to the experience. That's what it's all about.
