White water rafting in Northampton

Madie Dalton, Outdoor Activities and DofE Leader

On Saturday, 21 September, a group of students went white water rafting in Northampton.

For some of the girls, this was a real challenge and they were very nervous beforehand, but they worked well in their teams in the rafts to complete three laps of the course. They were taught basic paddle skills to enable them to control and turn the raft. Some groups were taught how to empty a boat if it flooded and how to cope with a capsize, some more deliberately than others!! In the end, they all got to jump off the edge into the strongest rapid.
