One of our earlier excursions was a trip to the Seven Sisters waterfall.  You can get there from Prickly Bay using the local bus service (Number 1 to the bus station in St Georges and then Number 6 across the island).  It is not a huge waterfall, but refreshing for a swim after a fairly long hike to reach the falls.

Another excursion involved a rum factory visit followed by river tubing.

The river is not very deep, so there is a fair amount of bouncing off boulders en route

There are guides to help out if you get stuck in a backwater
 
We also have our regular Saturday afternoon outing to the Hash House Harriers, which is often a rather challenging hike.  Unfortunately last weekend Susan (Toi et Moi) slipped and broke her ankle and two local guys had to half-carry her out of the bush along a river bed.  Susan had a temporary cast applied in Grenada and brought forward her planned flight back to the US, to have her doctor over there take a look at it.

Fortunately John (Fast Manicou) was wearing an ankle support which he lent to Susan to support the ankle

Still she had to hobble on it for a mile and a half before we were out of the bush
