Whitewater Rafting
19 September 2006
Raging rapids, cascading waterfalls and nail-biting competition - all this and more could be yours by taking part in one of our unique whitewater rafting adventures.
In the next few months we are organising a series of trips at various whitewater rafting centres in the UK and are offering you the chance to take part for free by raising sponsorship money for the charity.
If you would like to join in a unique event, learn how to race the rapids of some of the UK's most exciting rivers and at the same time raise funds for a worthwhile cause you had better read on.....
What will rafting involve?
Whitewater rafting is a truly thrilling adventure sport and we are looking for people like
you
to take part even if you haven't got any previous experience! When you arrive at the centre you will be accompanied by an experienced instructor at all times who will provide you with all the equipment you need and teach you everything you need to know
Each UK whitewater rafting location has a different format but wherever you undertake your whitewater rafting adventure you will experience approximatley two hours of total exhilaration.
Points to remember:
No experience required as all training and equipmment is provided
Accompanied by an experienced rafting guide at all times
Paddle your raft down some of the UK's most exhilarating whitewater rafting courses
Learn to run the rapids just like the professionals.
What must I do to qualify for a free rafting adventure?
Simply get a team of 6-8 people together (friends, colleagues, stag or hen party?) and
between all of you
raise a minimum sponsorship of £620. That's less than £80 per person although people can raise more or less as long as the team total is raised.
