Hey guys .. been think about going to one of the whitewater parks in the UK for a while somewhere like nottingham or HPP or even maybe the olympic one in London over christmas.. maybe a weekend or something? maybe 3 days there 2 days travelling or depending how flights are maybe works out cheaper.. anyway anyone up for the craic and banter let me no .. great place to really put down 2 or 3 days of proper freestyle training

Lee Valley is great, a bit expensive but worth it I think. It's £10 an hour for the olympic course, and £5 for the easier grade 3 course. The freestyle spots on it aren't great though, so it's better really just for working on your river running (or slalom...). There's a nice hole on the easier course, and 1 or 2 waves on the olympic, but they're all a bit flushy.

Cardiff would be a good one - it's £10 for a whole day and I've heard it's a really good course.

£10 for a day sounds much better than for an hour haa definitely check out the others so cheers

Around 400 euro ferry to Hollyhead, 4.5 hours to Cardiff, accommodation around 15 per night and 15 for the day at the whitewater park

That'll work out at 195 per person not including fuel or food, but that is going in December might be cheaper to book for January
