Madeira Drive offers a wonderful opportunity for our more senior members to fall asleep in their car, in a peaceful setting………

On the Sunday of the Dart Weekend, we fancied a change of scenery from the barely runnable dart (low levels again) so we ran a river new to many of us, the Lower Walkham. The river starts at grade 1-2, building up to a nearly continuous 3- last section. Most significantly, 2 rapids towards the end claimed several swims and a canadian each. These swims, along with a very nasty pin near the start of the trip made for an interesting couple of hours. The river finished with a lovely clean wave right by the get out, which made for good front surfing practise. Jamie
