Go river bugging in Llangollen! This picturesque part of North Wales is famed for its rapids and this thrilling experience gives you the chance to ride those swirling Welsh waters in a river bug!

If you don't know already, river bugs are rigid inflatables for one person.They kind of look like the shape of a jetski (making them ideal for cutting through the water), they've got handle grips on the side and you use your hands to paddle and steer. You can lie down on your tummy on them, sit up in them or even try kneeling if you dare. Whichever way you ride, it's going to be pretty fun out there.

You'll be in your bug on the waters of the River Dee near Llangollen and you will need to know how to swim, be confident in the water and be fairly fit, as (depending on water levels) you could be tackling grade 4 rapids.

As we said, this part of the River Dee is really popular for bugging. You've got some nice launch spots and plenty of natural obstacles to play. You'll need a fair amount of bottle to tackle these obstacles, along with the likes of Tombstones at the Mill and Middle and Bottom Hole.

You'll be accompanied on your river bugging adventure by one of the centre's watersports instructors. They know these waters well and will interpret what the river's doing in all weathers. Fast flowing or at lower levels, they'll find the best spots for you to ride the water, with the perfect mix of high thrills and safety.

Whilst no previous experience is needed for these river bugging adventures in Llangollen, you will need to be up for it, as it is pretty wild. All the gear you need is included, so just bring your enthusiasm and get bugged out on the River Dee!
