Having all met up at Matlock we headed up to start at Darley Dale. Having discussed in detail safety, rescue and particularly how to swim in the event of a capsize I had my doubts as to if this trip was too much for me. But as we went along Jack’s coaching put my doubts aside. Then Fraser got me involved in some throw line training. Further along came some more rapid moving water and my first intro to a bit of white water. An all round great trip and would definitely recommend. Thanks guys for getting me hooked.
