Thanks Tony
Sorry for the delay

River Avon Linlithgow , 4 openboats ranging from a prelude to a supernova and 2 kayaks ran the Avon on the 16th .
We put in where the bridge A801 goes over the river, It looked quite shallow considering how wet it had been recently but seeing we were here we went for it.We dropped of the other vehicle down at the hotel close to our intended get out .
The river was continuous grade 1, 2, with a few grade 3 runs further down the gorge. I think if the water level was a bit higher it would be pretty exciting in a openboat a few tight corners to negotiate .We all had a good day I even managed to turn Tony`s Supernova upside down and go for a swim, thanks for the throwlines guys well maybe next time after you`ve all stopped laughing.
The only hazzard was the weir well down the river ,not far from the get out ,it was the boulders after the initial drop that gave us concern after having a look only Ralph was confident about running it, and made a tidy job of it.

By the way I have just been notified by THE SCOTTISH TOURIST board that I am to be awarded the gold gibbon award, for my ingenius selection of prime brew up locations.

see you on the river GREYTOWEL

In the interests of fair and balanced reporting I should add that I managed to tip Greytowels Prelude over twice. How does anybody ever stay in a Prelude??
The first time I tried to roll and was recued still in the boat by a kayak (I'm not proud). Second time I swam, and was collected by a well aimed throwbag, despite all the laughter.

My new Supernova is now well and truely second hand. Like Dave says, a bit more water would have been nice (and a lot more water would have been scarey)

I would paddle this river again. Really nice enivronment, except where we stopped for lunch.

Looking forward to the next esoteric gem that Dave suggests.
