The river runner is a 5-day journey down the River Spey. This is a grade two river that drains the northern half of the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. After a flat-water skills session, we head off down-river to learn canoe handling skills on the swift waters of the Spey. This is an exciting white-water canoe journey that will leave you with a wide repertoire of paddle strokes and a high degree of river sense.

Note.. There is an additional supplement of £25 for those wishing to stay at the Gordon Arms Hotel on the night of the 4th October.
