Set departure dates for 2012 are as follows for 2.5 & 5 day trips:

10 and 24 September
8 and 22 October
5 and 19 November
3 and 17 December

We can run a trip on any other requested dates for groups or for minumum of 4 people

So set departure dates are regardless of numbers and if we get to 20 pax we will close these dates, lets publish these on all the websites, thanks.

These dates are in line with the low water season. These dates are traditionally from mid August until early January, and only change due to exceptional circumstances such as the last season where the river was closed for 4 months!!! Normally it is a maximum of 1 month. This year we only opened the low water season in September so to try and keep up to date we have adjusted our dates of set departures accordingly.
