Coke bottles are a good idea but going to need around 60 2ltr bottles per person on the raft plus maybe 40 to cover the wood, a lot of coke :-)

Rope in neighbours and work colleagues, I'm sure many bottles could be collected!

I think that while barrels are a good base and nice and floaty, they're too flat on the front and hard to paddle - need adjustments to make the front pointy for faster speeds!

EDIT: Just read the rules! No streamlining allowed and floats must be cylindrical - coke bottles it is! ;D

You think that would count - the floats haven't been streamlined, it just happens that the bottles can make it that shape

I think 300 or so coke bottles would be good idea wire or tie onto a simple frame,

Pepsi Market Dept are trying to find out if they can help us out with 350 of the 500ml bottles from their recycling centre!

Awaiting a call back later today. Now we have to think about how we are going to do it!
