So we spent the last day of 2014 paddling. 2014 was a fantastic year, I would say the year when my paddling got serious. I ran my first class IV rivers, the highlights being running the upper Dart for the first time and it was in a huge level, disappearing to the French Alps for just over a week and doing my biggest paddling ever out there, and then the month i spent out in Southern France in the Ardeche and Allier running some easy stuff and having a blast.
So before getting a little too drunk (and suffering with the worst hangover ever on New Years Day), me and my Dad had an easy day on the Tees, running the Cotherstone to Barnard Castle section, and we followed down to Abbey Rapids and Gorge and getting out just after. Was a decent level, not too low despite the lack of rain at the time. But more importantly it was my first time paddling with my new GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Now i had dodgy settings on it, so the footage isn't the best quality. But I have edited them now so next time (either Lee Valley or the Dart in feb) it should look a bit better.
anyway here it is
my next trip is on the Dart in early Feb, which im still decided whether to take my Spanish Fly or Yak... or both???!
See you then
