Living the dream

A highland existence interspersed with regular travels and running a charity in Nepal

Spean Gorge Solo 27 Aug 09

Made a solo trip down the gorge this evening, here just above Fairy Steps. The river was a nice level. Headbanger was a little cushioned and ran it without getting out of the boat. The constriction, however, was a nasty level, especially solo, so portaged that. This followed a trip down the Tarf yesterday.
At the outset, checked the gauge, seen here below the bridge at Spean Bridge on river left.
Measured the intervals on the gauge with a view to making a new one in white plastic. Will make this up and install it quite soon, when the river is at a low level.
