Tips if you are going to do Rafting in United Kingdom
Scott Iman Jones posted on 10 June 2021 11:14 | Reading time: 5 Minutes
The UK is rife with rivers and streams; its deciduous landscape makes it the perfect breeding ground for rapids, and thus perfect for a rafting adventure. Although when most people think of rafting their first instinct is to go straight for the whitewater rapids, there’s so much more to discover about it. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of our top 5 reasons why you should go rafting in the UK – and why it’s an amazing activity for everybody!
1. A classic water adventure
Traversing the whitewater rapids is one of the most original, thrill-seeking adventures out there. For years, it’s been a staple for groups of friends, colleagues and even school trips across the UK to experience something new and exciting – and now it’s even easier than ever to go! But you don’t just have to go for the wild ride, there are routes for people of all levels and abilities to enjoy, and no matter the size of the rapids you choose to tackle you’re guaranteed to have the adventure of a lifetime.

2. Quality bonding time
A raft is best commandeered by groups of 6-8, having to come together as a team to traverse the watery route ahead of you. When you’re approaching a heavy drop in mere seconds, with the waves building up around you, communicating and cooperation is the key to not capsizing and getting everybody wet – so it’s the perfect experience to build strong bonds with people new and old alike! When you go rafting it’s an all-day adventure, and you’re spending every day with your crewmates; so why not take the opportunity to share a once in a lifetime adventure with your nearest and dearest!

3. Get lost in nature
One of the allures of rafting is travelling to locations that are completely enveloped by nature. You’ll be able to go to the wilderness and experience the wilder side of life – with just the sounds of the forest and the rapids surrounding you. What’s better than to escape from the worries of every day urban life than a weekend basking in nature’s beauty with your friends and family, exploring places you never thought you would go. Plus, during the calmer moments of the rapids you’ll experience true tranquillity and rest amongst incredible scenic views.

4. Adrenaline
Of course, we can’t forget to mention just how exciting it can be to go whitewater rafting. There’s no shot of adrenaline quite like tackling class IV+ rapids, fighting the urge to capsize, whilst laughing about it with your crew. The sheer thrill of crashing through waves, gaining airtime, and fighting close-quarters against the elements definitely keeps you on your toes – if you truly want to feel alive, then whitewater rafting is definitely the adventure for you!

5. Sneak in some exercise on holiday
Along with all that adrenaline-pumping action, of course, comes a great full-body workout. Your core will be engaged at all times in order to keep your part of the raft balanced, and your arms will build an insane amount of muscle when battling the rapids for prolonged periods of time – not to mention the support you’re going to need from your back and shoulders. You are guaranteed to build some muscle and shred some calories whenever you go out rafting in the rapids; and better yet, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of a rewarding meal and drink beside the campfire afterwards. Get ready to release those endorphins and be craving for more!

When should I go White Water Rafting in the UK?
Whitewater rafting is available almost all-year round in the UK. Due to the (very) many periods of rainfall during the year, the rivers and rapids hold onto their water well – and this actually makes them a lot more reliable for rafting. Plus, there’s no reason to be afraid of the rain when you’re already going to be getting wet! So what are you waiting for?
