British Summer

If you live in the South West you can’t have missed the epic rainfall we had in the last 10 days or so. This has pretty much all gone into the rivers making lives miserable for normal people, but delighting kayakers! Monday night was a little disappointing, the Lyn wasn’t as tanking as we hoped, but still a fun little cruise through the woods, and some nice sketchy paddling in the gorge to dodge the odd tree.

The rest of the week saw the Dart go nuts and rocket up to a big big level. Too high for most to take on the upper, we dodged the odd hole and wavewheeled our way down a superb loop. Certainly the best way to do this run!

Dan on the Newbridge wave.

Chris on Washing Machine. This washed out by the time we had finished playing.

Later in the week we made it over the bridge and had a cruisy run down the Mellte. Chris made this video…

Cruising back in the dark, another after work mission done!

Since then the water has dried up a little bit, leaving us back on the bikes…
