Cheers mate ! Really appreciate that ! I’m enjoying slowly ticking through sections when i can, hopefully some others get some use out of these too. It’s amazing how much more comfortable on a river you are if you know what stuff looks like : D
@@connorproud absolutely. Obviously there will be changes in water-level, and over time sections change, but good effort on creating a little bit of an online catalogue of rivers. So many guidebooks are so far out of date they are practically pointless!
I did think that I should probably include water levels, but i keep forgetting them by the time i get home 😅 it is a shame how little there is about some runs on here, i feel like a lot is lost in Vimeo too though : (
I’m looking forward to catching it much higher, this is massively low bar on a scrape. What was the slot like it’s self? Did you run left, and was there a shelf drop?
@@connorproud ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3aGKfADsx1k.html (1 minute into the video is the slot to compare) My mate ran it off the shelf and into the slot (cool line to watch) whilst I used momentum and just ran the slot on the right (didn't really see it until committed to the line!)
Cheers : ) I really like it! Really smooth, the tails really nice for boofs, carry’s speed well too! Paddles like a rounder version of the spade full house.
I liked it! Just as capable as any one of the more expensive half slices out. Similar to a sort of mix between the ripper 2 and a rewind. Very smooth feeling on the water, but kinda heavy feeling too (good and a bad thing) There is a sense of you get what you pay for, handles and metalwork are a cheap chrome (bit rattley), not sure about the plastic but I’m sure it’ll last regular abuse so long as you’re not ragging it around. I think it’s well worth a punt for the price if you’re after something cheap (it’s cheaper than used now ha) Definitely try one out first though for yourself. Boats paddle similar but not exact person to person : )
@connorproud you looked ace, the feature looked a bit friendlier than the last place they did it too.That American lads another level though, he throws it around like a playboat.
Nice one Connor. That beck was a good find of yours a fun section on a very remote Teesdale Beck . I`d be amazed if its been run before. Thaks for the invite to run it with you, it was a fun!
Clean line on lower Kisdon, that's not easy to pull off! Ths is the low side of medium if anything, you don't want to run the boof line on Rainby any lower than that. Rainby boof vs rainby slide line is the border between medium and low (about 1m, 1.1m on the gauge).
Cheers mate! 😃 Appreciate this beta! I think we got on ~1.16 but I’m not sure if the gauge wasn’t updating or if it was just dropping so much. Is there a specific spot to look for on Rainby to gauge this? We deliberated the boof for a little while..
@@connorproud The online gauge is usually slow to update, there's the physical gauge under the bridge, but we always just kind of look at Rainby and how well-defined the lip is. If it looks like you're gonna touch rock on the lip, it might be time to think about the slide line (under 1.0m, maybe even as low as 0.9) - not an exact science, but you want the landing to be soft, I've at least one friend break their back on a bad landing off Rainby, and you can't get away with plugging too hard as it's not that deep.
@@Max.Topp-Mugglestone Ah that makes sense, Id only ever ran the slide side up until this point (only a handful of times), I had heard that the fall has been pretty brutal at times. Cheers for messaging, genuinely much appreciated 😁
