Re: White Water trips South West England
East Lyn from below the evil rapid after the gorge could be fun to run a few times if the gauge flow is plus 1.6. or to above brendon from the moor.

Re: Role that dams played in the 2013 floods in India
The same issues have been caused by damming on the Clutha river in New Zealand. A build up of silt downstream from the dam causing flooding.

Re: Burn 2014 vs Mamba 2013
The mamba test - can you actually pick it up?? No? Probably not that then.
Some impressive reviews about for the mk 3 burn - it better be a massive improvement as the last two were not brilliant.
Zet - veloc or raptor??

I never look at the old book - its pages kept secrets that were a mystery to me. The new book is brilliant for a non UK local who doesn't know the lay of the land.

Re: 2014 challenges
The Okere Falls Enduro on the Kaituna.
6 Hours - team - how many times can you paddle down and run back up the Kaituna in 6 hours. You would be surprised that the top teams did well over 20.
Second the Conway tri as well - its on my list this year.

No tickets - Simon will twist your arm to buy a raffle ticket. Normally its just rock up and paddle - catch-up with mates. The old school paddle looks class this year. They sell good beer at the bar. If you drink enough its guaranteed to rain.
