Merrivale Bridge. That grin won't last...

Walk-in.

Launching.
Following photos show low-medium levels.



Nasty pinny rapid near the start.








Alex Coon and Chas Couchman enjoy the boulder ditch from hell.


The river below Ward bridge - much easier and worth considering in isolation?
The following pictures show spate on the steepest section...scary...






James Farquharson...paddling in plaster.


Chris Wheeler. He went out and bought a creek boat the next day!
Photos by Mark Rainsley, showing spate conditions. These don't
show any particular rapids...it is all like that for a mile or so with no breaks!
