Now although I wasn't able to make Scotland this year as I had to attend a further court appearance, I have heard it was a brilliant weekend.

Not only was the water good but everyone paddled really well, especially some of the beginners who came on loads.

Hats off to Mark, Ailsa and Mike who did a fine job of organising a mammoth trip which ran smoothly with good food. (which is always a bonus)

Also Pete single handedly managed to make chili on Saturday night with very little help even though D. Dave had tried to kill him earlier in the day with a cross bow. (or so the story goes) Excellent

Can't wait for slalom

Couldn't have put it better myself. It was great to see everyone in such high spirits eventhough it was petrifyingly cold at times. I'm gutted I missed the crossbowing incident - is there any chance it could be 'faithfully' recreated in hearts of gold fashion for the ball (or 'hearts of coal', given how it was blatantly an assasination attempt)?!?!

There are so many highlights from the weekend; my favourite amongst them has to be when the snowball trap was sprung on Charles at the end of the hill climb!!

Aye it was a really good trip with the best levels I have done it with!

Again congratulations to both the commitee for an amazing time and the less experienced for doing really well.

I hope the other injured parties heal quickly. I on the other hand did not make it to work today but not via my injuries sustained from Mr Burne. Anyone else been/feeling ill or do I put it down to snacking at home?

Cheers again and see you at the ball.

Amazing weekend, thanks everyone.
I had a great time. Highlights were my first grade 5 (Headbanger), and then my second grade 5 (Easan Dubha) on my head .
Good times!

Fantastic weekend!
Thank to all who organised, cooked, drove (especially the van and mini bus) and the river leaders for keeping us all safe.
Well done everyone!
