The rivers are low and no rain is forecast. But it will be a nice day and there is plenty to do at the NWCP.
Tides are medium high, there is one star surf forecast fo rthe North East on Saturday. the snow was hard packed neve midweek and i suspect it will be similar again now after another inch and a thaw midweek. The climbing is good but the snow is patchy for skiing. Raise is still good though.
It's not kayaking porn, but it is Lake District porn. The video was filmed over one fairly grey day by four students at the University of Cumbria who are studying for a degree in Adventure and Media. It does make you realise how privileged we are to live in the Lake District. Enjoy...
and i quote ..."a new web television project following five athletes through the course of a single season in the Pacific Northwest. A veteran climber invents a new piece of gear. A pro snowboarder searches for a way to return to the roots of his sport. A boulderer returns from a series of injuries with new perspective. A family man goes to Whistler to test himself against mountain biking’s elite. A young sea kayaker with a troubled past sets out to reinvent his sport."
A good hook - its like HBO for the online X-sports junkie ;-)!
The larger lake fed rivers still have a bit of thaw water in them and are ticking over at a medium level. Everything else is low. The forecast is for no rainfall over the weekend.
There is some surf over in the North East. Tides are medium low.
Kenny from Lancaster Uni is organising a charity kayak race on the 10th of March. Details can be found here.
Also a shout to all those who have contributed to the water levels updates - its appreciated :-) and last but not least Cumbria Canoeists have agreed to help out with a new 'Kent cam'. We will obviously point it out here when it is online.
