点评:As a work social, 14 of us went white water rafting with GLL and Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, hiring two rafts for the group. We had an incredible time — it was so much fun! The staff were so helpful and encouraging throughout. Two of our group were a little nervous and not confident swimmers, but they had the best time; they felt supported and confident in the instructors the whole way through. The instructions given were really clear and easy to understand, which meant we were able to make the most of our time on the water. It was such a great way to bond as a group and make some brilliant memories together — a proper full-body workout, but so much fun! Ty, one of our instructors, gave us the best possible experience.
On the organisational side, although we arrived on time, we were told someone would come to meet us and explain what to do and where to go. It seemed like we were forgotten about, and we ended up waiting around for a while before I went and approached staff myself. We were then told to hurry as we'd lost time, which felt like unnecessary pressure when getting changed. Overall it felt a little unorganised on arrival. We were also told that, as a large group, we'd have a dedicated room to store our belongings instead of using the lockers, but no one showed us to this room. When we were changed and went looking for it ourselves, other staff told us to just use the lockers instead, as there wasn't room for us after all. The waivers had been sent to us in advance, which was great, but it would have been even better if the arrival form (covering dates of birth, medical conditions, and allergies) had also been sent ahead of time — this would have saved a good amount of time at check-in. Otherwise it was a great experience.

在组织方面,虽然我们准时抵达,但却有人告诉我们会有人来接应我们,并说明该做什么、该去哪里。结果我们似乎被忽视了。最后我们只好在那里等了一会儿,之后我才亲自去询问工作人员。这时我们被催促要赶紧行动,因为我们已经浪费了不少时间;这种催促在我们换衣服时给人一种不必要的压力。总体来看,刚到达时整个场面显得有些混乱无序。我们还被告知,由于人数众多,我们会有一个专门的房间来存放物品,无需使用储物柜,但始终没人带我们去那个房间。等我们换好衣服后,便自己去找那个房间。其他工作人员告诉我们,既然实在没有多余的空间给我们,那就直接使用储物柜吧。免责同意书事先就已经发给了我们,这点很好;不过如果入住登记表(包含出生日期、健康状况及过敏信息)也能提前发来的话就更好了——那样就能大大节省办理入住时的时间。除此之外,这次体验相当不错。
