Lower Findhorn

Posted By Dàibhidh On 26 July, 2009 @ 5:29 pm In Trip Reports | No Comments

Not many people about this week as the school holidays are in mid-flow, but five of us (David, Stewart, Pete, Steph & John) nonetheless managed to pull together and run the Lower Findhorn.

Levels were high-low to medium and nice. Randolph’s was run by Pete and John (with Pete showing us a textbook roll at the exit to The Cauldron!) and the rest of us join just below.

Tripple Steps was at a lovely level with a good run-in to the middle drop and a boof-able rock at the bottom. All faired well here and even managed to watch a few rafts getting stuck halfdown; class!

Some good surf waves at various points at this level and Corkscrew (which could finally be run mid-line after a somewhat dry summer so far) proved an awesome rollercoaster with much power and speed!

Both Stewart and I even managed to get in so leading practice for our Four Star Leader assessment; although they all thought it would be funny to do an all-in capasize for my last section…thanks guys!

All fun though…
