not even a footprint is left behind.

The ultimate family float trip is how most refer to the Middle Yough. Its calm and scenic Class I and II rapids are gentle enough for the young and enjoyable enough for the young at heart. Stemming from our success with the Family Focus Trips last year, we have now incorporated that format into all of our Middle Yough trips.
