This weekend was the time for the annual Freshers trip of awesomeness. 40 people descended upon the boat shed Early on Saturday to pack the vans for what was to be an amazing weekend.
We started on Loch Tay learning basic skills that we would need to get down the river then set off in 3 groups to enjoy the stretch of Tay down to Aberfeldi.
The evening was full of Scrumpy, Sausages and Smirnoff and had a great atmosphere in spite of the incessant drizzle. We chilled altogether at the SCA camp-site and after a few tense games of minority we slowly slipped off to the tents.
Next morning we got back on at Aberfeldi to play epic raft games and float down until the more difficult rapids above Grandully. All the beginners copped admirably, with amazing roles and T rescues all round.
The final rapid of the day pushed the skills learnt to the maximum with lots of sweet lines being hit and the odd danger role above boat-breaker.
The Chinese on the way home sealed the deal as the best freshers trip in a long time.
Cheers James and Jamie for organising and I look forward to more trips with these guys in the future.
