| General Description: It is a short trip down a very steep, rocky and continuous canal and can be scouted easily from the road (recommended). A good trip if youÕre in the area, its flowing and you haven't got much time however it is fast and shallow and has seen a fair amount of damage to people and boats. |
| Beware the last 200m below the bridge is extremely steep, devoid of eddies and heavily overgrown with tea tree (branches at water level!). All trips should finish at the bridge. |
