Phew - and we're done....

A huge round of applause goes out to all of our 2009 Guide School students. Great job guys and gals - the schedule was crammed full, well done making it through. Tonight you can finally catch up on your rest. I know we will!

The last two days of guide school were spent at the Ocoee and Chattooga Rivers. A full combo trip on the Ocoee, including swims at Tablesaw (watch out for the guide getter) and then a "Rope Throw Rodeo" to round out the day. Knots lessons on the bus and Section IV (?) on Sunday (the Chattooga was running at 2.8ft (yes we have water!) so the trip got moved up to Thrifts Ferry - Woodall Shoals).

There was a little carnage here and there - which gave some of our students a healthy respect for the river. Always a nice thing to have in a raft guide. Feedback on the new format for the school was mostly very positive. A few adjustments to the schedule for next year (let us sleep on the bus please!) and we should have it just about right. We look forward to hearing from anyone interested in attending guide school 2010 - just email mcoleman@wildwaterltd.com.

We'll round up some photo's and video footage from this years school to be posted soon.
