The river level was enough for a decent run down, although it was a lot lower than we were expecting with the recent heavy rain.
There were a lot of spots suitable for playing on the full length of the river, and one where we had a huge party wave - which was great fun.
Normally when doing this run, we would get out at Tullylish, however recently CANI has been trying to get paddlers to continue to Gilford where there is a better get-out and a carpark.
This, however resulted in a very long flat-water paddle - taking at least 30mins with only 2 additional weirs. This proved to be a major problem in the C1 and by the end I was struggling to move.
Despite the extra flat paddle at the end a good day out was had by all.
Thanks to Catriona Woods from DCC for the pics.
