Had a splendid day out on the river! An easy grade I-II run through a stunning gorge. We went with a few of the teens from our club.

Everyone knew the river well, except one kid for whom it was their first #whitewater creek ever. We all had a great time!

We also saw a goose đŸȘż

I made sure to value it

The experience was only slightly marred by one of the adults, who occasionally remarked that “finally it’s warm” and “this isn’t a heatwave, it’s just summer” etc.

This guy is the club’s former president. At least those views, along with a rather dubious leadership style, led to his being replaced recently.

My own teen used my old Dagger Centrifuge for the first time today, and had lots of fun with it.

The boat is easily 10 years older than he is 😅

@slothrop Kudos on finding a stream that was still above minimum water levels!

Looks like fun! May I ask where you were? I could probably handle Class I–II rapids, and besides, a quick dip wouldn't hurt in this heat 😉

@slothrop looks cracking. I always think, when I'm on the river, is this legal?
It just seems too good to be true.
Happy paddling 😄
