Spicy Gironde @0.5 June 2024
Переглядів 4695 місяців тому
The level was 20% higher than the last time we did it (the day before). Definitely spicy. Some nice big holes. One of our team mates lost a boat, which has been recovered later from the lower parts of the Durance. We were actually really lucky as the next day the flood hit and the Durance reached magnificient 460 cumecs and the place the boat ended up was completely washed out and the campsite ...

Two laps on the Afon Dwyfor on the medium level. After we did the 1st one I decided to use my full slice, and it was one of the best decisions. That river offers so much. There is very little flat sections, so normally its rapids after rapids. Plenty of boofs. #whitewater #kayaking #Wales #Gorge #gopro #kajak #whitewaterkayak #rapids #extremesports #gopro #gopro11 #wodospad #extreme #Dwyfor #Af...

      @tompillar86 3 місяці тому

      CIWW is the easiest course but really good and nice if you take a swim. HPP is way harder, lots of boils, massive holes and it sucks if you take a swim but is way better if you want to improve technique. I can't say anything about Lee Valley as never paddled there.

    • @tompillar86
      @tompillar86 Рік тому

      It's a beautiful river, as there is so many different things, but there is s couple of dangerous bits, especially the rapid with undercut, narrow guttering like slide which is very shallow (on of our guys attacked a rock wall with his face) and there is a boxed-in nasty weir which looks like suicide apart from one place where you can shoot it. I'd recommend doing it first on low level as we did some portages and it was only on medium
