Friday evening turned into weather watch maddness, whats up? and where is it going to fall? Every contact I had in Wales got a message just incase it might be working. It wasn't! So I went for a beer with a neighbour, the next thing I know Mr Dan rang and he was on his way for a paddlin day on Saturday. We woke up In the morning and had a leisurely start to the day, despite this we still managed to be on the lower Kent for 10:15am with my brother. We had dusted off the playboats and had a little play down from Prizet. The water was freezing so no big hero moves just a quick blast, it was a medium low level so no bother anywhere.

Next stop Skelly for a quick park and huck, again the level was low but it made the line hard to get and more interesting in the big boats.

We knew the Leven was good to go and the gates were open to give it that extra spice. We did the shuttle and had a quick peek at "The Bridge" enough just to get the fear going! Glyn joined us at the top in spectacular hungover fashion, all hoped in the big boats and headed for the waves. It was a great change to the other rivers to be moving quickly, using all the features we slalomed our way to Backbarrow. Once in the eddie we hoped out for another quick peek Dan set up with a throw line just incase Robin manned up and cleaned it leaving the rest of us to follow. Good old paddle hard get that last stroke and fire on through, works nearly everytime! Feeling great and putting my bridge demons to rest (they got the better of me last time) we carried on dodging the big wier. Low Wood bridge soon appeared round the corner and the end to another great day.

Despite the rivers we did not being the hardest or the highest or steepest they are still great for when not allot else is running. All that driving also helped the greenhouse effect hopefully increasing this years rainy season!

Cheers
