I have been told the worst place to sit is at the front!! But being as small as me i can see thats where Aaron and I are gonna end up, plus i am going with loads of my work mates so they will want to put me there for a laugh
We went to a place in Wales called Bala, its about 1 and a half 2 hrs from Manc. It usually costs about £45 each, but Aaron and i got it for £10 each plus £5 wetsuit hire It was really really good, deffo go if u get the chance
