I found a new kayak girl friend  Lea, together we went to kayak the Viamala Canjon, although it's forbidden for kayakers, we manage to squeeze ourselves in the Canjon (a smile and a blink and nobody can resist the Dutch/ Swiss female combination). Steep, beautifull and never more than a Class 3, it's well worth paddling.

Steve ed and Carlotte from Kandal were visiting us in Ilanz, at Kanuschule Versam we'd picked up a Jeffe (kayak) for Steve. In the evening it's paddling time. First a run on the Glenner to get the feeling with the Swiss white water. Also Steve and Charlotte did the classic 'Vorderrhein Schlucht together: the Swiss Grand Canjon'.

After the Medelsbach the boys decited...to do the Ruess, the scenery is already quite impressing, first we'd inspected the big slides, but the waterlevels are not right to do them. The mountains are rough, big and sharp. The run was 'full on' with waterlevels rising and dropping constanty. Not really funny when your inspecting a rapid when the water just went down, and running it when it's sudenly come up 25 cm..... luckely only one short swimm of one of the raftguides was the result.
