| The Upper Yough Guides | |||
Our guides are seasoned professionals who specialize in Class V and V+ river descents. Each is an expert in navigating paddle rafts in steep, technical whitewater. They have come to the Upper Yough because they feel that this unique stream is the perfect expression of their need to be at the top of their profession. Each of our guides has an intimate knowledge of the river and respects it for both its beauty and its dangers. As professionals, we take pride in providing yo with the safest, most exciting trip possible. We have an unblemished safety record and that is directly attributable to the caliber of boatmen we employ. Each guide has a valid CPR and First Aid card. |
| Why Upper Yough Expeditions |
| Running a river as challenging as the Upper Yough requires the highest standards of professionalism in both the company you choose and the guides that company employs. Upper Yough Expeditions pioneered commercial rafting on the Upper Yough, and has been running the river commercially since 1982. Our safety record is unsurpassed. Our equipment is top-shelf.. self-bailing rafts with foot cups and safety straps. Type V Coast Guard - approved PFD's and helmets are provided. Because of the intense and highly technical nature of the Upper Yough, each raft will have a guide and three customers. |
