Rivers got loads of water in it and the moors are completely saturated. Should be fine for saturday.

[pete thorn]

I expect it to be on the low side of medium, and cold.

[morsey]

Was low today.

[Le_bambino]

Very low indeed.

[TimRips]

Anyone seen it today? Thinking of heading there tomorrow as there's been some rain about. I'm guessing it will be paddleable, just wondering if it'll be a decent level...

[storm]

Should be ok tommorow well be there around lunch time.

Is the Lyn likely to run tomorrow given the amount of forecasted rain?
Thanks

[storm]

Not a hope.

Anyone know what the Lyn is doing? We've had a lot of rain in Dartmoor, has it been the same on Exmoor?

[Simon Westgarth]

Here is the rain gauge at Liscombe on Exmoor 6 hour precipitation

It looks good to go

Been at watersmeet all afternoon, lots of water in but it was dropping a little, still lots though. Not been raining up here this evening, but more rain forecasted for tomorrow I think. Hope that makes sense.

[Jack Butcher]

Cheers, heading up there on thursday now, hopefully it will hold some water for then?

[George H]

Did you get on? Saw two groups on the river today. Looked pretty good, working beside the river all day was very depressing.

[Jack Butcher]

Yeah put on at Brendon about 12:15. Low level but the double drop up the top was good and the gorge was a laugh. Drop at watersmeet was a bit bumpy though. You may have seen us there about 1:30, sitting having lunch by the footbridge. 3 creekers; 1 green jefe, 1 yellow jefe and a yellow and orange java?
Brendon crew have improved on their response time. First contact, at the carpark, was in under a minute! and the main assault came within 3 minutes of pulling up in the car. You have to admire their spirit! the grumpy bastards. They even went for a double bank attack! What choice did we have, when we were surrounded on all sides, but to put on the river? They didn't think of that, did they!

[George H]

Ha ha nice, yeah I saw you guys, I was the younger guy in green raking the paths around watersmeet.

[storm]

We were the other group,no probs at brendon,todaynone of these people are actually landowners,the village hall car park is actually rented from we think the national playing field assosiation,and they are in danger of commiting a bigger offence than they suggest we are,on the way down we had chat with the head area warden national trust,who was very supportive and really wants to sort stuff out,had good paddle.

What are the levels like at moment?

[Jack Butcher]

Guessing low, but still runnable. We were there on thursday and it was still a good run, so should be ok. Don't think there has been any rain up there though. Check out the link Simon Westgarth posted above, for the rainfall over the last couple of days.

Cheers!

Was a nice medium level Sunday! Water coming over big boulder river right of crux 2 in the gorge. Should be paddleable for a couple of days to come.

[Snakey jake]

Small group of us are planning on heading over to the East Lyn tomorow (friday 21st), Does anyone no how the levels are holding up? Other wise, whats the upper dart looking like?

Thanks,

Jake

East lyn is low. Not rained up here since last Saturday.

[morsey]

George have you managed a paddled on the river yet?!?

[George H]

Unfortunately no, I've spent so much time working beside it and watching people going down it but being away from paddling mates am yet to get on. Walked Lynmouth to Watersmeet today, its rather depressing.

[woodsy]

Is the east lyn a low but paddleable level or too low?
thanks

[George H]

If running things low is your thing..... theres rocks showing in a lot of the drops and some nice pinning spots. Just trying to help.
