I know some of the cavers who did another of the idents & they still took 30 takes just to walk in & out again...

Mike

What did they say on them?

Think it would most likely make rescue more difficult in a pin situation.

Mike

Are you using a wetsuit? As that is what provides surfers with buoyancy - along with being attached to their board...

Mike

It regularly collects debris & is cleared by the relevant authorities - as it also threatens the integrity of the road bridge!

Another bridge further down is a potential hazard as it is falling apart, but that is on a private estate...

Mike

It was only just possible to paddle over at c.0.9m on Trallong gauge Friday.

There certainly was a marathon run on the Tay back then, but don't think it was sold as a Descent Race (even though it actually was):

Anyone know about the others (apart from Liffey, which just had it's 60th running)?

Mike

On the Sennybridge to Aberbran section.

It's because they were on photobucket...

Yep, somewhat limited, but thought smeone might recognise them(selves). Episode 2 was filmed back in May & includes canoes in the triathlon:

I don't know about G7AFM's forum, but our caving club has an email newsgroup on yahoo, rather than anything like this...

Looks like even the biggies are giving in to FB: Understand what's changing in Yahoo Groups Yahoo has made the decision to no longer allow users to upload content to the Yahoo Groups site.
