Lots of team days/events/things come and go and you find yourself thinking, here we go again. Our team building event at the weekend has quite happily changed my mind. We had temps to cover the reception, we had tickets and lots of energy and we were ready to go to St Pancras by 12 noon!

A pleasant journey up to be had gazing at some beautiful english countryside relaxed us nicely. We all got together in the evening for our team dinner to set out our plans for the next day and have a team ice breaker with some fun 'truth' questions put to us anonymously by others. This was a great way to see how team mates viewed each other.
Next day in the lobby and we were getting excited….time to go to Holme Pierrepoint in Nottingham which is home to the National Rafting Centre, a simple 15 minute taxi ride from the centre of town. Once we arrived, it was quite a quick process, get our wetsuits, get a quick briefing and off we go down the rapids! You go down the rapids 4 times but what we did not count on was having to get out at the bottom, carry our boat quite a distance back up the bank and then jumping in again and paddling all the way back to the start!
