A SPLASH OF WATER

After weeks of waiting, some water finally fell during the weekend, enabling me to get out boating at last!

Saturday looked more promising, and the word went out that some fun was to be had. Surprisingly, only Gary turned up in the morning, and soon headed home as he sounded like he was about to cough up a lung!

So I was on my own, and headed up north in search of water and paddlers. (NB: I'm not encouraging anyone to paddle on their own unless they accept all the risks involved).I arrrived at the Etive, which was at a lovely medium level. I jumped on, and had a great blast, meeting up with a group from Kirkintilloch who provided lots of amusement.

Next up was a solo down the Nevis.



Brilliant fun, although I walked my nemesis rapid (Dave's hole) and a couple of others. Despite it being dry during the day, the level was spot on, and I just had time for two runs down the Mad mile section. Great!

Sunday was forecast to be a bit colder, but there was still enough water for a play. First up was the Allt Gleann a Chaolais. It was a really nice level for the folk who hadn't done it, and much fun was had, including several backwards runs of crucial drops, and a set of snapped paddles.......

















Hopefully it rains again soon!
