£10 while the pumps are running (£5 for juniors)

Really enjoyed my first visit. It was such luxury to take the conveyer back up to the start. I think it was probably running around 8-9 cumecs (usual leisure level) making it far more forgiving than when the pumps are turned right up (max 16cumecs). It was shallow, making it possible for many of the numerous swimmers I saw to stand up in the eddies and climb out with ease. Its a fantastic technical, yet forgiving place to paddle. The thought of 16 cumecs is a bit terrifying though...

For the adventurous, it might be worth ringing to see if there are any planned high cumec releases.
