After a late night drinking session, loud music and PC plod turning up to turn the music off, we were all feeling rather delicate. A re-run of yesterday’s river was in order as we know the lines and didn’t need to think too hard. By lunchtime we were half normal and stopped in a local park to have lunch on a jetty overhanging the lake. After feeding the trout in the lake we headed off to the Lower Guisane. This is best described as a boulder field in a fast, steep narrow gorge. Split into three groups we headed on down. We were soon grinning from ear to ear with excitement, for the majority this river soon became one our all-time favourite rivers. A bench mark was set, to match it, or better it. Poor Richard was wondering what kind of rivers we were all looking at paddling after another panic attack half way down.
Jason jokingly said we need to check our insurance to see if he could claim for a new boat, whoops I lost it paddling. Will he may not need to say that when he stoved the front end in on the boat after hitting a rock.
On exiting the river the eddy was missed by a couple. A line was thrown for a rescue which went wrong and the line was lost washed down the river.4
Sorry lack of photo today as river was too technical for stopping on.
Today’s statistics 0 swims, 0 Injurys and 1 panic attack.
