26 Feb 12 - Medium/Low (0.95m at Old Bridge)
At last one of us had the nerve to run Quadratic Conundrum. And it has now been renamed: Quadratic Kermit.
A late afternoon run of the Shavas gorge, with Tom, Andy and David, was proving pretty uneventful. I was drifting backwards towards one of the smaller rapids in the gorge, chatting to the lads, when something slithered up my leg. With a very girly scream I exited my boat like a cork from a champagne bottle, much to the mirth of the lads, and swam the rapid backwards for my trouble. The humour and ribbing increased in tempo after Tom fished a small frog from from my boat.
We all took another long hard look at Quadratic, and I decided to run it. I jumped in the Solo and just went for it. The first hole was nearly my undoing, and I missed the planned line at the second, ending up on track for a proper mauling in the bottom to holes, but I managed to punch through them.
Andy showed us again how not to run Andy's drop, and the chaps all had a go at Terminal Slide, mostly pulling off a good line. Some repairs were required to Tom's running board before we could get underway for our trip home.
