River Bugs/Hydro Speeds

What could be more exhilarating than floating through drops and rapids at water level on an inflatable hydro speeds?  You are sure to get bounced off the bug on occasions and hit the odd rock, but the thrill of this type of river running will remain with you for a very long time to come!

We introduce you to the basic skills required to stay upright and safety awareness for this activity and then, under your leader's guidance, set you free to explore the river rapids whilst helping you find the best ways down. We also show you how to support each other in your descent so everyone has fun. You'll quickly learn to understand the energy and flow of the water, how to guide your craft through the biggest of the waves and drops, how small movements on the bug help to steer and change direction as required in the turbulent water!

We introduce the group to river running skills taken from our good practice in kayaking and canoeing and work out ways of keeping the group in contact with each other and maintaining a safe but adventurous and fun activity.

"This is an immense experience for the adrenalin junkie out there. Never thought having this much fun would be possible. Not only was it enjoyable but you got to learn about the river as well to work out the best way down the river it was also a great workout on the upper arms. I am seriously addicted this new sport and can’t wait until I get out on the river again. Thank you once again for an unforgettable experience." Emma Chesney
