A couple of things following last weeks floods. In the first pool on the course with slalom gates on 3 of the wires are down. I have recovered two of these to the left bank where they are coiled up out of the way and well above the current water level - if we have another flood they could go back in...

There may have been lines to sneak through, but as hey were one after the other it eas...

The V-shaped weir you refer to is definately runnable, although as it a vertical drop you'd probably want to give it a miss in high water. having said that we have had some-one from the club stuck in it at medium water levels - and as its walled in, getting them out is tricky! I've always run it riv...
