Welcome to Rockmonkey Outdoor Pursuits

They offer coaching, guiding and outdoor instruction as well as providing safety cover for water based events.

Would you be interested in volunteering to help provide safety cover for this event? This is a great chance to practice your white water safety and rescue skills, so if you can help out throwlining for a few hours or would like to spend two full days live-baiting, we'd love to hear from you.
Providing White water safety and rescue cover for the BUCS slalom event
You can expect free tea, and if you can help for a whole day or more there's also free camping and party tickets. As always, you can take time out to compete yourself, so there's no reason you can't get stuck in!
The dates of the event are 13-14 February 2010, and there's loads of information about the event itself at http://www.bucsslalom.org.uk/
