Prepare for some fun chaos as we take the dogs on the river!
We have booked for 32 people and dogs to rent canoes from Wyedean Canoeing in Symonds Yat East. The cost is £37.25 per person plus £7 parking for the day. Please RSVP first, and I will contact you separately to arrange payment - also for the admin, let me know the age of anyone under 18, if you have any medical conditions, or are pregnant!
The canoes will be sparred together in pairs to form very stable rafts that will take 4 people and 4-ish dogs. Please let me know if you have a preference of who you're with in your group of 4, and I'll allocate everyone a place before the day.
