For info and on behalf of event organiser - the course has been set today and the plan is to go ahead with the first event tomorrow. River level is good. Look forward to seeing you all there.

How can you have had all 3 mini's and nobody said how great they were? I attended the first and the third and was very impressed by the whole thing. So thanks to all concerned

I posted a vid on YouTube of my run on the first course which was nicely flooded. Nothing too special about my paddling as I am still finding my feet in a 3.5m boat - but I hope to improve as the season goes on

Check out the vid here:-

Oh, and you Stone people can see part of the course being nailed by your boy Phil in the finals here:-
