The
whole river will turn from peace to a huge mass of surging, splitting
white water in a matter of moments. Only the echoing thunder of the
crashing water to warn you of the excitement ahead. The
water boils and bubbles before you. It crashes down, disappears and
resurfaces in a torrent that looks certain to up-end your dinghy.......
But before long however, you'll be pleading
with your guide to take the hard and fast route. You'll be aiming to
bounce your craft off the rock - half hoping to tip a few friends from the
raft!
Lean forward as far as you can
and plant your paddle ahead of you. Keep each foot firmly jammed under the
gaps between the inflatable dinghy's wall and floor. And put your back
into it...
You lean on the water with the
paddle, but suddenly, you are running down the rapid, the water is moving
faster than your paddle and then you hit it. The wall of water. It's hard
and cold. It slaps you in the face and drenches you within the second.
Then you're up and out again. Breathe quickly. The rubber raft has lifted
itself through the great white wave you've just demolished.

"By
the time we hit the second run, the adrenaline was rushing, and we were
ready to go at it again. As
before we started off nice and calm, but then as we hit the rapids, our
guide was shouting the instructions thick and fast.
The next thing we knew, James was overboard, and we were headed
straight for the other teams boat!"
