Avon

Keep an extra look out on the Lower Avon - a tree was reported to be lodged across the main (left) chute under the high bridge at Chatelherault. It is said to be just passable hard left and could well be very tricky in big water. (The situation may of course change quickly)

The big weir at Larkhall that is a scrape down the left can be shot in short boats over the 4 metre vertical right side even at high flows. There's a semi-circular lip at the bottom that shots you thought the stopper. The weir at the bottom of the grade 3 section (near Hamilton) can be shot hard river right at higher flows.
