River Etive - Triple Falls


The most photographed rapid in the UK?

Very low water, from Vicky Burke

David Lloyd...'I know it's the most photographed rapid in the universe but here's a couple of pics of triple drop on the Etive at mega low level. Still perfectly shootable and good for sussing your falling off techniques at this level. Quite interesting to see it at this level and worth remembering you can almost always have some fun here when nothing else around is flowing.'

Paul Caine in high water.

The three pics above show Triple Steps frozen up - not for softies! Pics by Esther Platts.

Third drop, from Bob Smith.

Freewheel from Ali on the second drop.

Picture from Alexander Briant. Very low.

Mark R on the first of the Triple Falls, low water.

Rob Godfrey, low medium water level...when the whole ledge is covered like this, the stoppers on the Etive begin to have some 'ompff'.
