| Raft
building - Barrels, planks, ropes and water are a
recipe for a thorough soaking and great fun. The sheltered
waters of the Wye at Glasbury are a great place,
to spend a few hours raft building. |
|
|
A
great
session is guaranteed,
ideal for large groups of adult and children alike. Once
equipped with buoyancy aids, helmets and paddles, teams
are given a short time to design their raft. A selection
of materials are at hand, plastic barrels, long poles,
short poles and not forgetting the all important rope. |
 |
Once
the marshals are happy with the design, the team
begin their construction. The rafts must be big
enough and strong enough to carry the team through
a series of races, it
must be able to manoeuvre through a slalom course
and cruise at speed. The real test to any raft
is time, how long will it last?

But
do not worry if yours earns the name Titanic, the safety
marshals will be close to rescue you and what remains
of the raft
