The May Bank Holiday weekend is typically a time for lounging in the garden sipping the first of the summer Pimms and scoffing cucumber sandwiches. ‘Not So’ say all the folk who headed out with us on Saturday and Sunday! Water levels on the River Tay are holding nicely due to the snow steadily melting off the numerous Munros (a peak over 3000ft) of the Lawers range. The Sun even made an appearance too, boosting the temperature into balmy double figures! in Scotland………..imagine !!?*

The Keltney Burn Canyon is proving as popular as ever! More and more people seem to be returning to have a go at ‘that cliff jump’ they perhaps didn’t pluck up the courage for last time around!!

Here’s what you had to say about your time Rafting and Canyoning with SPLASH over the past weekend.

What was the Best thing about the trip?

“The Big jumps and then the pub!!”

“Our Guide Toby had charming banter that added to our rafting experience”.

“I highly enjoyed the whole experience, the staff are a nice bunch and the new pub/cafe is ideal. Good fun Thanks.”

“The staff have a Bad Attitude, Bad as in good! Gnarly Dude!!!!”

“I didn’t know what Canyoning was. It was Awesome.”

Romance is evidently in the air (must be the sunshine). Some of the handsome chaps on the Saturday Stag Party seemed to take a fancy to the best looking of our Guides.

“Great Staff! maybe consider topless Laura and post-rafting ……” We will leave that one to your imagination!

When asked what we could have done better one chap simply proclaimed.

“FREE CIDER”………………..We are working on Simon at the Tully Cafe Bar!

Cheers. Enjoy the Sun. (from the water, its the best place to be).

THE SPLASH TEAM.

We have all seen the hen weekends in Europe’s top cities. You can sort of spot them with the various costumes that seem to be all the rage these days. Well there are also a lot of hen groups who are trying out some very different hen weekends. They often choose to combine adventure and a bit of luxury.

They spend the day white water rafting and maybe a bit of canyoning or paintball or charging over a Scottish mountain on a quad then it is back to the spa for a bit of pampering or maybe straight back to a luxury lodge and a long deep dip in the hot tub.

Scotland is proving to be a magnet for the hen groups who are willing to try something different. It may be the attraction of all these attractive raft guides who look after them on the weekend but I think it is more to do with top class accommodation to relax in with a day of fun, excitement and yes a little bit of terror thrown in as well.
