July 2005 we signed up for the BIG rafting descent of the Dranse. Twice as long as the normal route it has several ‘dodgy' rapids. Our team was made up of some great pals, Rowers (ex-Olympians) and Dragon-Boaters/Canoists, the 2nd raft contained some Greek River guides Patrice had been training in April. Although they deny it to this day, we provided an excellent safety exercise when Freddie flipped us (zis is ze firrst time I fall in for 8 years”)!!! Yeah.
