White Water Rafting - A Very Sociable Adrenaline Buzz

One of the main reasons that White Water Rafting is such a
popular adventure sport is because it is a highly exhilarating
experience that can be shared with friends and colleagues alike.

Up to eight people can be crammed like sardines into a single
raft, making it an ideal way to for groups of friends to share
an adventure together. The social aspect of White Water Rafting
lends itself perfectly well to stag and hen parties that flock
to locations all over the UK, with the rugged landscapes of
Scotland and Wales providing particularly hair-raising rides.

This gregarious nature of the sport also makes it a big draw for
companies seeking to get their staff working together as a
cohesive team unit. Indeed providers such as
www.adrenalinepass.com state that around half their entire white
water rafting clientele are corporate organisations seeking
effective team building activities.

Scotland offers the full spectrum of white water rafting
experiences ranging from the tame to the extremely dangerous!
Depending on the time a year, the same stretch of river can be
classed anywhere within six categories from Grade I smooth
flowing water, to Grade VI - impassable with likelihood of
injury or death!

The River Tummel for example is dam-release, guaranteeing water
levels every weekend from June to September. It is a narrow,
technical and exciting river, offering almost continuous rapids
to Grade IV, culminating in the descent of a double-drop
waterfall!

So what are you waiting for, organise a group of friends or
colleagues and experience a thrilling ride together - one you'll
all be talking about for a very long time to come.
