Discuss your event →The experience
Built for your people.
Managed by ours.A water-based challenge feels genuinely different. Teams travel together through changing landscapes, sharing effort and responsibility in an environment most participants do not encounter during everyday work.
We can create a one-day challenge or a multi-stage journey, including River Wye experiences delivered from our own activity base. Route selection, craft, briefings and support arrangements are matched to the group and prevailing conditions.

Useful answers
Before we begin.
Do people need previous paddling experience?
Many suitable programmes can accommodate beginners. We select the route, craft and support model after understanding the group and current water conditions.
Will the event run in all river conditions?
No. Water conditions and weather are assessed, and an alternative route, date or activity may be required when conditions are unsuitable.
