Other Information:
If you plan to come on a trip, you must contact the organiser in advance to agree your participation in the trip so we know who to expect (and make sure we wait for you) and on some trips numbers can be limited. Also plans may change at a late stage (due to water levels etc), so we might need to get hold of you to let you know. If you don't speak to the organiser in advance they don't have to take you on the trip!
Places will be limited depending on the number of coaches / river leaders available.
We will also need a consent form/parents permission for any under 18's that want to come on a trip. Download a consent form (pdf).
