Pioneered by lakes paddling legend Richard Evans. Certainly ran everything he published. Mostly in prijon probe or latterly an RPM.
Anyone ticked all his becks?

The probe was from eurokayak.

Unfortunately hasn't been even a rumour since 2015, cheap flights pretty much did for any profit they could make.

Viamichelin gives you a good idea of costs & times, based on your vehicle, but you seem to need to register to use it now. Obviously need to add rest breaks to the calculation.

I guess not many paddlers actually do stuff as a first (to them) descent, they are following someone who has done the river before, so the grade is literally unimportant, as long as the "expert" is correct in their belief that they can do it...

Mike

As Jim says, you can't view every river on film to see if it's sensible, you'll still need a grading system to decide which ones are worth looking at...

& how do you know a video actually shows all the features or even in the right order?

It's in the guidebook:

I got a call about going paddling...

Mike

Repeated on iplayer, available for 2 weeks:

According to wikipedia it's 18ft, guess that includes both drops (& also lists a claimed first descent by SUP!)

Mike

Dee, teifi & Usk had recorded descents well before the 1960s / fibreglass revolution (see above link).

This thread mentions 4 groups of paddlers who think they may have been the first, but the Welsh rivers claims it was 1982:

Farson now combines rainfall & river level on a graph (no predictions though):

As well as the links above, the graph on "Is The Dart Running" offers a handy attempt at prediction too: http://isthedartrunning.co.uk/graph.html Unfortunately, even the "what's already happened" rain gauge data from dartcom isn't reliable, as it over-records when windy. EA also have other rivers -...

Text books are hard to read, try 'Kayak' by William Nealy (assuming it is still in print). The diagrams have never really been improved on by anyone, there is a good dose of humour to maintain interest, and I think that all the American terminology has been absorbed into British river speak now. Ha...

In theory it gives you more leverage to lift the bow on boofs off ramps, whether it does in practice...

The third was a Spanish paddler on tamba kosi in October. Terrible news.

Unless you're in the habit of taking them to dank car parks for your days out it's a non issue really. You'd be better off parking in town.

Between the two threads there are two people who questioned the charge having been caught out (who may have been in the same group), two others who questioned it, but apparently haven't been there recently.
