Scotland has taken its place as the new Mecca for white water
rafting and extreme sports enthusiasts. With over 120 activity
centres around the country you can do it all here – from jumping
off cliffs, sliding through canyons and rolling down hills in
plastic balls, to more traditional activities such as white
water rafting, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting.
The rugged landscape is perfect for hair-raising outdoor
pursuits. As Mark Turner of specialist outdoor sports website
adrenalinePASS.com says, “We are especially looking forward to
the rafting season on the River Tummel. This is undoubtedly the
best white water rafting available in the country over the
summer.”
The Tummel is dam-release, guaranteeing water levels every
weekend from June to September. It is a narrow, technical and
exciting river, offering almost continuous rapids to Grade IV,
culminating in the descent of a double-drop waterfall!
“An alternative waterfall descent”, Mark continues, “is on one
of our canyoning trips. This time there’s no boat involved,
instead participants are lowered down on a rope in a controlled
abseil.” Canyoning descents also involve scrambling, jumps into
plunge pools, natural water flumes and slides.
A wide range of clients enjoy adventures with
adrenalinePASS.com. Individuals and families on day visits or
holidays, through to a range of groups, from stag and hen
parties to corporate outings. Their philosophy of professional
delivery, from experienced but also highly enthusiastic
instructors, has produced a winning formula.

this summer and fancy some excitement in your life, go to
