RIVER FINDHORN (Dulsie Bridge to Logie Bridge)

There is a large oak 3/4 across the river about 1km upstream of Ardclach. It is just above the last nice rapids of this section. Some of it's branches have lodged around a rock downstream and could be a hazard to any swimmers...these will probably move in the next BIG flood, as will the tree.

Thanks

I have sent a note round all the local clubs, so hopefully this will get the word out!

Re: Tree on Upper Findhorn

Postby daibhidh » Sun Mar 15, 2009 6:55 pm

The oak tree near Ardclach has now gone...BUT...I'm just back from a trip down the Upper Findhorn amd there's now half a tree stuck in the pool immediately below U-Bend. It wasn't possible to see if it was also cutting into the chute at the bottom of the drop, but best to get out and have a look if you're thinking of running it as it could make a swim there even less pleasant than normal!

Upper Findhorn - Levens Gorge hazard

Postby Nasty swimmer » Mon Nov 02, 2009 8:34 am

There is a large branch caught in the undercut, river right, just below the twisting drop at the entrance to the Levens gorge. It will be completely submerged at high water levels but could be a nasty surprise for anyone who takes a swim there.
