GUIDED DESCENT OF THE RIVER SPEY

Day 1  Aviemore - Boat of Balliefurth (Meeting for 9.30)

You'll meet your guide at the Old Bridge Inn, Aviemore where we will get our kit checked and packed. Chatting through some emergency procedures before we get on the water and run through some basic skills to gain some confidence in our craft before we start to weave and meander on our way through the upper reaches of the river. We plan to camp beside the river at  Boat of Balliefurth. 

Day 2  Boat of Balliefurth - Ballindalloch

We get packed up and get on the water to flow down through Grantown on Spey taking in some faster-moving water where we will help to develop our moving water skills, paddling through fantastic scenery all the way to the next camp at Ballindalloch.

Day 3  Ballindalloch - Craigellachie

Today is the most exciting day, with some of the best rapids along the way, the Washing machine and Knockando being the two of most memorable. After the action, we head down to Craigellachie where we can get some food and visit the whisky bar if you desire!

Day 4  Craigellachie - Spey Bay

The last day where we head out towards The North Sea over the course of the day with the scenery changing from the low lying mountains at the start to the expanse of the open sea, tasting the salt in the air as we head towards Spey Bay where we can get some photos and coffee! 

When we pack up we will retunr people to Aviemore in our 9 seater minibus, usually arriving in Aviemore for around 5pm
