30th Jan Cow hill no cow on hill

Jo and I headed up Glen Nevis and walked up to the top of cow hill, stunning blue skies(that soon changed) and scenery but a beasting walk...

28th Jan Lower roy

G and I headed downt o the Etive as all the river levels said they were a scrape. Drove all the way there and this was not the case at all... It wasnt too big but in our little boats we would have taken abit of a beating and considering it was about -4C We wernt up for it. So we skulked off tail between our legs to go and do something else so the day wasnt wasted. We went and ran the Lower Roy as it had been fun the week before but this time it was at normal levels so was alot more fun as things wernt so bony and it had quite abit of force behind it in some places. A fair amount of holes seemed to appear as well!! Will be even more fun with even more water and bigger volume boats. You cant have it all though.

Jan 20th Lower Roy and Middle Spean

Making use of the rain some more, Gerry, Chris, G and I went and paddled the Lower Roy into the Middle Spean. It was low so was fine for a first run down. Most sections were grade 2 with 2 really good grade 3s... play boats are sinky.... Properly freezing as the rivers are full of melt water.

Change for the blog. 18th Jan Lower Nevis

I need an ongoing blog of all activities for uni course work so now for the next little while its not just climbing its whatever we happen to get up to...

18th Jan, after the huge cold spell came a huge thaw which meant the lower nevis was pumping so was finally worth the effort of going down it in a boat to see what it was like! I headed out with G and we both stood at the lower falls and chickened out.

We have to run it some time this year. Was a pleasant day but totally baltic as can be seen....
