Anybody else notice the massive spike in the flesk yesterday?

Edit: I just noticed that the picture changes every time they update it on Irish Whitewater.

actually that looks like a nice drop in profile, if only someone hadn't hung those big red and green cables across the falls.


my manager isn't in today. I'm getting very little work done.  ;D

It was mental - the amount of rain we had.
The river out my window rose by 2 - 3 feet over Wednesday night and dropped most of the way on Thursday evening. Could have been a lovely dangerous munchy scary washing machine esk day

I was on the Flesk at about 1 PM on Sunday - some days it pays not to get up too early.

Line 1: Myself, Tom Bannon, and Mick Moore put on for a pleasant run, in good spirits.
Line 2: Myself and Mick Moore thoroughly enjoyed our day and finished up with a little boat extraction scenario at Poll Ghorm.

Very nice.

I trust you had the necessary experience to make a quick clean job of the extraction Jim?

cables across the falls.

better than the slalom gate which was hung across sluice two saturdays ago. it fell as fresher angus was comming through the sluice. he/his boat ended up getting caught in it.

Ha! I like the way the graph at the top keeps updating. Now that's big! if it keeps going, it'll look like the background is blue and there's no water..

Just reading a little further between the lines reveals that Jim's pedagogical approach has been found lacking in recent years. An ICU Instructor course might help you along there Jim?

Tom has loads of ICU instructor courses - didn't do him much good...

Should this all not be under the topic "Swims", or you obviously though such posts feature one-to-many times under the same topic jim??

Ritchie, if you have half an hour for the topic, Tom will explain to you in great detail how it was not, not, not a swim. Hence I'm posting it here...
