Green Boat wins the battle

This Sunday the three strong staff team Me (Craig), Guy and little Tom headed for the Tryweryn we took with us the mighty Green Boat for some extra entertainment. Although I have had the pleasure of using the green boat before on the Tryweryn it still never ceases to amaze me how great it is. We all had our turn with everyone pushing it as hard as they could to get the best move or the most air. However on the final run the day was made when I (Craig) whilst paddling the green boat was met by two paddlers in the famous Topo Duo and challenge was set King of the wave was called at Cafe wave with a good audience and lots of other boaters I am pleased to say the Green Boat won, but the challengers were worthy opponents.

The Brookbank boys head to Scotland!

Well been a while since the last post however we have been out and got some good rivers done but not much to write home about. But that's all changed as Me (Craig) and as many of the others as we could manage to get in one place at the same time headed off to Scotland. With a strong team of 13 we headed for Glen Etive for some good wild camping and luckily some even better water levels. On day one the group was split with 5 heading off towards Fort William and 8 staying down in the Glen, the day started with a sporting run of the Etive at good levels and then a supreme run of the Allt a' Chaoruinn which was an amazing experience with only good things to say.
That night we headed to the Morriston for some more wild camping and some early runs of the upper and lower Morriston the next day, ending with a drive back towards the Etive for a lower run down that and some playtime on Right Angle. It was a brilliant two days spent with a great bunch of boaters there were plenty of pics and vids taken and below is a link to video we made of a few of us running one of the Etive Tribs.

Trip to the Washburn

Today Me (Craig) and Little Tom decided due to the very low levels in the rivers, we would head over to the Washburn for the Sunday release. This also seemed like a good opportunity to try out my new Dagger Kingpin play boat, which did not fail to impress me.
