Totnes Raft Race

Event Date:

2nd October

Overview

The Totnes Raft Race, known as ‘The River Dart Struggle ‘ takes place along the river Dart starting at Dart Bridge, Buckfastleigh, and on through a mixture of white water, fast-flowing weirs and calm stretches, and makes its way down to the finish in Totnes, a distance of some 13 Kilometres. This is acknowledged as one of the great river challenges and  is an ideal corporate or group team-building exercise,

Each team must make its own raft out of a restricted list of approved materials. Crews between 2 to 10 people per raft, all-male, all-female or mixed, over the age of 18, can take part in an exciting struggle to the finish.

Family Swoosh

Family Swoosh : Swim, Paddle, Float from Aveton Gifford to Bigbury-on-Sea. Explore 5km of beautifully remote and tranquil River Avon as we swim and paddle from Aveton Gifford to Bigbury-on-Sea. About this event. Find secret beaches or dig for cockles, we’ll drift down the Avon Estuary being swooshed down by the outgoing tide. Even on the wide and epic estuary you can relax knowing our qualified and watchful instructors are close by. We will begin and end at Bigbury-on-Sea where there is a lovely beach. It will be low tide at 12.20pm so the beach will be vast. There is a small cafe that sells food and drink and the Pilchard Inn is a tiny pub on the Island across the sand bar that connects at low tide. Bring a little shovel and spade – We may hunt for cockles & muscles along the way as we are going to the seaside after all. We will most certainly have a camp fire along the way for some scrumptious hot food. Appropriate for ages 3+, they must be able to fit into a buoyancy aid. Buoyancy aids are provided and must be worn at all times during our journey. Each family gets at least 1 craft to paddle/sunbathe on/float next to. Instructors are likely to be wearing wetsuits (always check out the gear any instructor is wearing it is usually the best stuff for the job). Wear hats and long sleeves if it is very sunny. Times: 09:00 – 12:30 BST For more information and to book click here
