Good day, sunshine and a good level (10.0 on the Backbarrow gauge). We saw a group of 23 (yes - 23) paddlers setting of as we ran the shuttle; fortunately they were gone by the time we got on!
Andrew in his new Burn hammered the drop under Backbarrow Bridge with as perfect a line as could be imagined; he looked like a skimming stone flying right over the haystack waves, straight as a die into the bottom right eddy. The rest of us tail-stalled, but hey, that's small volume boats innit! At least the sky was up and the water down...
A minor moment at the lower weir resulted a swim, a set of Prijons being replaced with my splits and a fun chase boating session for Andrew and me! The Prijon's were safely gathered in by a team from LUCC - and were returned to their rightful owner in no time at all... Thanks Tim from Leeds Uni.
