I have participated before at another venue from another organization but this was really very well organized and it all looked very well taken care of.

Goede materialen werden verstrekt door Base Canyon (manawe). Erg leuk dat tijdens het Canyoning op meerdere plekken foto’s werden gemaakt die professioneel mooi zijn. Voor 45 euro krijg je alle foto’s in hoge resolutie voor eigen gebruik (online downloaden). Al met al blij dat we voor deze organisatie hebben gekozen!
