The Kent. Nice high level of about metre today. After a quick inspection of the L shaped rapid and Force Falls section of the river we got on the river a little further up to take in a nice grade 4 section. Nice whitewater roll by Mike and interesting gopro footage of me hitting a wave that felt more like a brick wall! We arrive at the gunbarrel/l shapped weir section and have all sorts of fun! Mike swims powerfully to avoid the nasty part of it and Dav shows off going off backwards! Force falls run successfully, catch up with Dav, chat with Mike and onto the Lune. Kelly kayak vids is up and running on FB to view the fun. The Sprint and the Mint run into the Kent and I look forward to paddling those in the future.
The Lune……I really enjoyed this river from the crook to killington bridge. The river was on about a metre and was fun and bouncy. The tricky section known as the Strid was under water and therefore I would like to return again some time. Mike ran the shuttle for us and a nice coffee on the way home gave us chance to reflect and relive the day.
