WATERY GOODNESS

Over the last few weeks, there's been a fair bit of water, and therefore a fair bit of boating. Here's some slect photos of the last few days play:

The Keltie Burn and Bracklinn Falls
This was an afternoon session of slacking off thesis writing and going for a play. Four or us went up to the Keltie, which was at a nice level for those who hadn't done it before. It's just up the road from the Leny, and makes a nice change when it is going. The whole thing is great in high water!

Dave having fun on the top falls:


John on the next drop:


I ran bracklinn falls: a lovely set of drops with one hard move to clear a sticky hole ('The gates of Shangri-La' mentioned in the guidebook). Unfortunately the light was dropping, so photography was difficult:
The second drop:


This weekend saw us hunting for something different, and we ended up on the Leven.






A brilliant day, including some fun (for me) on 'End of the World' (see here too).







That's all for now folks: hope it rains again soon......
