The Skinsdale feeds into the Blackwater. The river is mellow to start and then a sudden rapid leads the upper falls, an impressive cataract. The best line is right side, seen here. Chris ran this. John provided cover from this ledge.
Looking back to the upper falls. The ledgy character of the river is clearly visible.
Rest of the team portaged the top falls. From here a gorge of over 4kms length unfolds with countless rapids and some major test pieces. This really is one of Scotland's finest runs.
