Team AS hits the river.

With all this rain around 'Team AS' finally did what we'd all been waiting for, and went for a Whitewater paddle. Ewart, Kayleigh, Sam, Liam and myself hit the water. It was very much a gentle warm up paddle, seeing as Ewart hadn't paddled Whitewater since his first shoulder injury, about 15 months ago, Kayleigh is still recovering from another shoulder injury and Sam hadn't been on whitewater in a while! So we headed off for a classic Grade 2 fest'.

Just after the get on, and straight into the trees!

As you can see from the photos there were lots of trees to dodge, and the river never let up for a moment, continuous class two rapids straight from the get in until the get out. What a great trip!

Hopefully it'll stay wet, with the exception of Saturday the 4th of October for the South West Canoe Show, and we'll get many more days on the river.
