River Tees Trip - 14-16/11/2014

Such a sick weekend on the Tees, paddling my new Pyranha Spanish Fly OC1. Managed to get the posture right after numerous cramps whilst on the river and leg spasms whilst off it. High Force to Low Force section was great, shooting some good 3/3+ in some pretty decent levels. Managed to break out mid-way down Dog-Leg and empty out before boofing the next couple holes, definitely need to install a pump system. Such a fast nimble and reliable boat, gets a bit slow and heavy when full of water though but still very manoeuvrable. Boofed off Low Force first time no issue, despite me being a leftie and the drop being a righty boof. Second time not so well and ended up swimming. Got to shoot the drop in numerous kayaks that were about as well so there was no missing out on one of my favourites.


Can't wait until next time. 

some of the footage is out of focus but what can you do eh
