Liveonce Adventure

When Scotland is good it is awesome- world class, granite creeking. Unfortunately I’ve had my fair share of bone numbingly cold low water runs down the Etive to known just how fickle the highlands can be.
Imagine our joy then, when on a quick mission over the Irish sea the rain gods gave us a deluge. Must be a celtic thing.

Paddlers: Rosie Cripps, Dave Carroll, Paul Cheesy Robertson, Simon Westgarth, Cam Allen and Ben White.
We hit the Etive at the ‘don’t-forget-your-boof-or-you’ll-get-the-royal-tar-and-featherin’ level. We also got the Bran and Orchy at sweet levels. Happy days.

Brings back good memories of the good old days of Scottish boating, before Ben Hughes broke his back on the Pattack, when Sam Hughes was still Pacman and lived in Edinburgh, and before Sickboy turned Seppo and used to solo the Nevis cause Andy Jackson didn’t feel so good. Happy days.
