:finger You lot are a shower - actually Brigita is correct I am up for white water rafting and the River Orchy has more top grade rapids than any other Scottish river so lets do it as they say 8)

Right, pooey news first... The folk I know only run trips on the Orchy until the end of March, so it looks like we've missed the boat on that one... :(

Good news is that the Tummel and the Findhorn are good fun too :D I was speaking to a coastguard mate a while back and he seemed to think the Findhorn had plenty scary bits on it 8)

fair doos. I think everything else up here is pretty tame & the even the Findhorn isnt in the same league as the Orchy... Might be the best option though - scenery is supposed to be pretty stunning!

I've not got a free weekend until May now :shock: How's everybody else placed?

Or we could all just save up and high off to Zambia :D

Zambia does it for me Steve

Failing that or the Colorado River it might be as well to wait until October and get up to Bridge of Orchy 8) :twisted:

Hmm... Colorado River! Sounds tempting too 8)

I need to get wet before too long though, work sucks at the moment and I need a break :lol: I'd be up for doing the Findhorn in May - I'm sure it would be a top trip out in some great scenery :thumbsup
