Went on the lower Yough trip with girlfriend and two 13 year olds. Was a small group on our trip (only 12) so they put the group in two boats total with a guide, without the up charge. We had Brian as our guide and I cannot say enough good things about how good he was/is. He was incredibly competent, and knowledgeable. He lead and instructed us through the more challenging routes in the rapids, without losing anybody from the boat. I cannot recommend enough getting a guide unless you are an experienced rafter, it's well worth the extra 20$ a person. The river itself was beautiful, the water was clean and clear, and the rapids were exciting.
