River Leven

After my park n' huck session on Monday, I wanted get back in my boat as soon as possible! Then chance to go paddling on Wednesday came up, I would have been stupid to pass it up!

We went to the River Leven in the South Lakes. The River Leven flows out of Windermere so it is usually quite reliable for water level. This was my first down the Leven, and wow! What a river! Was really nice and chilled, only grade 3 with some 4/5 rapids on, but some of the rapids were constant and hundreds of metres long - great!

The group consisted of me, 3 mates from uni and a canadian that I just met, crazy I know! Was a really nice river and trip. Here are a few pics from that day.
