There
are two 'paddler friendly' rangers on the Drumlanrig Estate at
present and that there are no major issues to contend with. We
can keep them sweet by not showing our bums when changing - apparently
there have a been a few complaints from visitors to the Estate.
In addition please park sensitively at the take out at Drumlanrig
Bridge - don't cram up the spaces, block people in or half park
on the road!

seriously, a paddler in November contracted a nasty infection
through a cut sustained in the RAF Downriver Race. There is suspicion
that it could be connected with a yellow substance dumped at a
road layby immediately south of the usual take out point. The
jury is still out on whether there is any connection - but be
aware.
