TESTIMONIAL
Jamie,
Hello. We took a raft trip on the Lower Yough about 10 days ago. Just wanted to let you know we had a great-and very safe-time.
My niece was being a stick-in-the-mud and complaining all the way to the first rapid... by the time we were done she wanted to know when we could go again.
Our in-raft-guide was Todd, and he was wonderful.
Thanks! We will be back!!!
