Middle Findhorn in Spate

Filed under: Trip Reports by Dàibhidh   Print This Post  Email This Post  

Had a wee bimble, or rather what I thought would be a wee bimble, down the Middle Findhorn tonight with Jo.

Lynn turned up too, but decided not to paddle, so ran the shuttle and took some photos.

Where’s the Water said that it was on a high low, but given the rain I didn’t really believe it so I took my Diesel rather than the playboat…

…and just as well too! The river was in spate by the time we arrived, with sweeping currents and MASSIVE stoppers where normally there’s little more than a ripple.

A great paddle it was, bascially a point-and-shoot job. It took only 20mins to get from Logie Bridge to Carnage Corner…and that was even with Jo paddling a Wavesport E-Z!
