NEW BOAT!!! Scotland – December 2009

December is here…. and I have a lovely shiny new pyranha BURN!! So I took my new toy up to Scotland for a week of fun :) We got a few good runs in, the Orchy – the Spean on 3 pipes…. right from the dam all the way down to the end of the Spean gorge (missing out the minessy section) – four sections of the river in one day (three of them new sections too)! Needless to say we were very cold and it was dark by the end (numbers had also dwindled from 12 to 3 by the end as people got tired and cold!)

 We got a fair few good pictures on the Etive on a cold day in Glen Etive. I had to resort to using pogies however – and as a result of the wonderful colour combination with my drysuit…. I end up looking like a baby blue lobster!!

 Happy New Year All!!! One of my wishes for 2010 is even more awesome paddling than 2009 – can’t wait!

You would make that face too if you got splashed with water as cold as this.

Boofing right angle is never a good idea…. unless its so cold that its worth it to keep your head dry!
