14-15 Jan 12 - 0.99m at Shavas Old Road Bridge
Five excited and somewhat nervous novices, under the supervision of Troy, Ken and I, attended the course on the Shavas river. The first day was mostly flat water and covered the basics. We ended with a short trip including a few grade 1 rapids.
The second day commenced at the main road bridge and ended at the old road. We recapped the basics, practised on moving water, and then took on the grade 2 rapids, repeating Island Rapid. The novices chose some interesting lines and entertained us with a few "jumps" at the end of the Island Rapid.
The day ended with the local kids having a go, and entertaining us an their friends with their antics.
Special thanks to Troy for his help and camera work, and to Ken for his excellent management of the camp and equipment.
