River Usk - December 09

With only one car Nigel and Tristan had to hitch hike the shuttle (thankyou peaple form Pencelli outdoor centre for the lift), Whilst Barny and Rheanna chatted to Shaun Baker at the car park. The river was at a good high level and the three ledge drops were excellent fun, the last producing a nasty stopper. Barny ran it first and everybody watched, slightly worried, as he got a 30 second beating. Nigel, Tristan and Rheanna then ran it no problems. Tristan and Barny decided to go up for another go, everydbody laughed as Barny got beaten ... AGAIN.

The next minor epic followed as Tristan's paddle magicaly snapped. Still we continued down fun rapids untill we got to the takeout bridge. To our delight there was a riverwide 2 foot clean wave which we spent an hour playing on which makes up most of the short video.

Thanks everyone see you all next weekend. Barny
