Paddled this on 20/12/12. Looks like there's been some re-modelling following the huge Nov floods. From the guide:

a triple-step weir (SJ006715), seen by a very obvious horizon line.  At high levels this is a definite portage – there is a well-walked path on the right.  At low levels it can be shot in the centre, or portage the first two steps on the rocks on the left and shoot the final step

In addition to a couple of missing bridges, the above weir has been breached with the river effectively by-passing on the right. This new rapid/route however was blocked by a tree at present. Easy portage by walking straight down the remains of the now dry central weir structure!

We were there yesterday, now also two trees requiring a walk in the middle third, one bridge washed completely away and is now along bank river left about 100m down. Also the last weir (the one in the guides as a nasty one) now with the passing channel on river right which also has a tree in it.
