Beginner WhiteWater Rafting
This trip is perfect for first timers! If you can swim 50 meters, and aren't completely terrified of whitewater, you're good to go. (a little fear is perfect). With the help of LUMC's Raft Leaders we will be able to take a few first time rafters.
Also open to intermediate kayakers!
The Plan:
Friday night – Depart clubrooms around 4:00pm, set up camp, and get to know the crew (we will be joining fellow senders from LaTrobe and Monash).
Saturday – Full day of rafting, followed by beers and a campfire.
Sunday – More rafting action!
The location is dependent on flows, will be grade II, (Big/Macalister/Howqua-Delatite). Will confirm closer to date.
The trip is led by qualified raft guides, fellow students volunteering to gain more guiding experience.
Gear hire is available supplying you with:
* Wetsuit
* Paddles
* Life jacket
* Helmet
* Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat
You will need to bring:
* swimmers
* Dry cloths
* Food (2 lunch, 1 dinner, 2 breakfast, snacks, bevs)
* Booties or old shoes you can wear in the raft
* Thermals to wear under wetsuit (not cotton)
* More warm cloths

There will be some bigger trips coming up later in the sem, so this will be a great introduction!
