Newtonmore Week – Day 2
24 09 2008
On day 2 we went canoeing. Ben, our instructor, showed us the basics and soon we were out on the water. First we learned to turn and then we went on a bit of an adventure. We had to go under a tunnel made of corrugated tin using our hands to pull ourselves through. On their way back Ross and Ciaran capsized and got soaked. Ben towed them back to shore.
After canoeing we went gorgewalking. We got absolutely drenched. We swam to a rock and did some jumps. Alfie did the biggest jump. some people got swept away by the current but got caught by our instructor.
In the evening we went to the Inverness Aquadome. There were lots of flumes, The Vortex, The Cyclone and the Lochness Monster. The Cyclone swirled and the Ness Monster was steep, very steep!
