Last weekend the rainfall radar suggested that the central and North Lakes had got the most rainfall, so I checked my passport and went up to the North lakes for a bash on Aira Beck. I'd wanted to get back as it was a good little adventure the first time I did it, but it could have done with more water then. this time we got a decent level and there was no scraping, but it wasnt high enough for the upper section. Another good trip followed, a few portages, two rapids that require some thought and generate 'the fear'. Along with lots of steady away class 3/4 drops and shoots, all in a nice setting.

Thanks to andy for the pics;

Sunday saw the runoff subside, so it was time to hit the Leven for another high water run. The bridge was 'splashy' but the last couple of times I've fired it up at high levels I haven't got my head wet! Unfortunatley, that doesn't really translate into confidence for next time...
