Rafting

Rafting offers a different way to experience the river

The club owns two NRS rafts and associated equipment.

The process for rafting on club trips, and access to rafts by members for private trips, was updated in December 2019, and is described in the following documents:

Rafting Guidelines
River Trip Code of Good Practice
Rafting Procedures
Raft Trip Plan Form

Those who are wanting to make use of the club rafts please make yourselves familiar and follow the documents listed above. The process for self-assessment listed in the guidelines will be worked through with potential Club Raft Leaders in the New Year.

To access the rafts please email with your verification and Raft Trip Plan and a committee member will sort out access to the rafts with you from there. Your patience is appreciated as we bed in some new processes.
