We visited the new Cardiff International Whitewater Centre in Cardiff Bay yesterday. This is part of the Sports village that is being developed on the west side of the Bay. Nearby is the Cardiff Arena Ice Rink and the Cardiff International swimming pool.
The pumped river is about 250m long. It looks lots of fun, you can either try the kayaks or go white water rafting as a group. Each white water raft has a “captain” on board who ensures that everyone is safe. It’s not cheap, between £250 and £300 for 6 people but you’re on the water for about 2 hours which is about as long as most people can last for! It’s pretty tiring!! (more…)
