<\/a>I’ve just got back from a very, very low water trip to Scotland with fellow Team Pyranha paddler Richard Brooks and a few friends. Who said there wasn’t much to do in Scotland at low flows…..?<\/p>\n

After\u00c2\u00a0running the Spean Groge and the Roy Gorge on the\u00c2\u00a0first\u00c2\u00a0day at very low levels we headed over to do the Altt G<\/a>lean A Chaolais, which is basically a mental series of slides\u00c2\u00a0of up to 25 feet and an 18 foot vertical drop, see picture above. Over the 1Km run there are about 22 drops!!<\/p>\n

Creeking in a C1 is interesting at the best of times, but in low water levels with lots of rocks and an off-side. Things got really quite interesting.<\/p>\n

Richard had an interesting line down the 25 foot stepped slide running most of it on his head but luckily got away with it. Good job he wore a full face helmet!!<\/p>\n

I am really loving the Burn and my confidence is beginning to grow a bit more with my C1 Creeking. I never really did anything other than Freestyle but the Burn has inspired me every time I’ve gone out.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Richard is still up there at the moment so I’m sure he’ll have some more stories on his return so check back soon for Part 2!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
