GUIDE TO THE RIVER FINDHORN (Upper section to Dulsie Bridge) NAME OF RIVER: Findhorn. WHERE IS IT?: NE Scotland. PUT-INS/ TAKE-OUTS: Follow the road up to Banchor(sp?) across Dulsie bridge then turn left down a small dirt track - you need an OS map to find it!! Get in where the road joins the river- scramble down a small grass bank. Take out at Dulsie Bridge or carry on down the next section. APPROX LENGTH: Unknown. TIME NEEDED: Unknown. ACCESS SITUATION: Be sensible at Dulsie bridge. WATER LEVEL INDICATORS: Unknown. High water needed for this section. GRADING: Unknown. MAJOR HAZARDS/ FALLS: Unknown. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: There is nothing very serious on this section but gives a good warm up before Dulsie bridge - there is one mini gorge which looks very similar to the gorge section at Dulsie - ie. blind Right hand bend - but with nothing below it - great fun for a group of novices who've looked at Dulsie bridge and think they've arrived - only to be seemingly led blind into it!! (sorry - couldn't resist that one). The first rapid just above Dulsie bridge is difficult, see the guide to the next section for more info. OTHER NOTES: Other sections to consider are Dulsie Bridge to Logie Bridge, Logie bridge to Randolph's Leap, or Randolph's Leap to Mains of Sluie. CONTRIBUTED BY: Dave Francis. |
