White Water Rafting - Not For The Faint Of Heart

White water rafting is an adventure sport in which a raft is used to navigate a river or any water body. It is usually done on rapids or white water to keep up the excitement. A river goes through different gradients and flows from a higher gradient to lower gradient. When the river's gradient becomes sharp, frothy water is formed consisting of bubbles and aerated water. This has a white appearance hence termed white water. Almost anyone with a reasonable health can go for white water rafting. It is a good way to spend a vacation, travel abroad, be among the nature, get the sun and of course get a tan. It is considered a good way to release the stress. The expeditions range from a day to a month. White water rafting is now widely practiced through out the world.

The essential gear required for White water rafting is a raft. The inflatable boat is the most common raft used. It is made up of layers of durable rubber fabrics and independent air chambers. Various sizes are available ranging from 11 ft to 20 ft. White water kayaks are also popular. They are made of plastic or fibre glass. Safety gear, water proof bags & cases, hooks, knifes, ropes and camping equipment are essential. Almost all these are available on hire.

April to October is a good time. For thrill seekers May & June are suitable when the rapids are more turbulent. White water rafting is done throughout the world round the year. White water is classified into 6 categories depending on the difficulty: Class I: Smooth water but fast. Class II: A little bit of rough water with eddies and easy drops Class III: Whitewater with rapids irregular waves, back eddies. Swimming, self rescue knowledge is must.

Class IV: White water with whirlpools, high irregular waves, for experienced adventurers. Class V: White water with dangerous obstacles, violent rapids, boiling eddies. Scouting is essential before going on such expeditions Class VI: Extremely dangerous unexplored rapids.There has been concern by environmentalists due to activities of White water rafters like dredging the river bed.

Until 1978, Blondie was perceived mostly as a ’60s-referencing, British-Invasion-meets-girl-groups band. With veteran producer Mike Chapman at the helm for their third album, though, everything changed for this group bred from the New York punk scene. Honing in on Blondie’s strongest points–Deborah Harry’s come-hither vocals and Clem Burke’s powerhouse drumming–Chapman helped recast the band to …

By placing all but one of his actors under hypnosis, Herzog achieved his desired effect, eliciting performances that seem oddly detached and trancelike, perfectly appropriate to a story about 19th-century Bavarian villagers who have lost their collective vision, c…
