Halifax Canoe Club

No piccies - I'm waiting for the waterproof camera to be developed

 (above) Leaving Spean Bridge heading for the Spean Gorge - as soon as they've gone we can go and get tea and cake!

 (above) They are in there somewhere - looking into the Spean Gorge from high above on the road (that's about as close as you can get without paddling)

 (above) Les takes a wave in the face on the Coe between Back Man Door and the Coe Gorge

 (above) Dam, we've missed them. Looking down the Coe Gorge - seriously pictures don't do the place justice!

 (above) Getting on to the (swollen) Lower Orchy - but I don't think the river its going to rise up that far Paul

 (above) It's all a bit washed out on the Lower Orchy - still it makes for a fast trip

 (above) Below the big drop on the Arkaig - you can just see the route right of the island , but the main drop is around the corner behind the trees on the right

 (above) Cliff cuts short his day on the middle Orchy

 (above) Matt ploughs down one of the earlier rapids on the Orchy (Big Rock or Chicken Shoot?)

 (above) Easan Duhba - the first grade 5 - pick a route!

 (above) Easan Duhba - the first grade 5 - Getting a good line on our chosen route!

 (above) Matt at the end of Saw Tooth - after demonstrating that picking a line is one thing, but doing it is another. Note the expression on his face - I think it has something to do with the hole behind him that he's just been through!

 (above) Cliff looks on as Les inspects the Witches Step from below - and wonders where did I go wrong? (It all became clear when we watched the video)
