Wild Water racing is exciting and fun, it is also a great way to keep competition fit during the Winter. This particular course has no rocks, it is a twisty stream and the flow depends on the about of water coming down the River.

After the race we can visit Loughborough and enjoy one of the amazing coffee (and more specifically cake) shops that are there.
