Glen Nevis River Race

The river Nevis runs along Glen Nevis, in the shadows of the U.K's highest mountain - Ben Nevis. This somewhat unique event involves floating down some pretty serious rapids on a variety of inflatable craft. In the past there's been air beds and all sorts of other inflatables. Monies raised go to the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team - which is a very deserving cause.

Even if you're not up to competing, the spectacle will be worth it. It's the sort of thing you don't see every day! It's held on July the 19th down Glen Nevis. It's about 40 minutes drive from the Great Glen Hostel to the area where this event will be held, near Fort William. The 2008 event was a huge success, and it promises to be bigger and better this year.
