Vibes

Loonger features than the upper section, but very similar in terms of difficulty. Bit of a long walk out, but not terrible.

Features

  1. Bridge Falls - Take right line for a steep drop that's fairly straightforward. Drop. pool twist corner after/under the bridge. It's a bit boily, but not bad.
  2. Gun Barrel - Choose the left side of the island after the entry choss, follow the flow and stay straight and upright for big speed. Technically sessionable, but slippery. The line of sight was awkard. There's an awkward eddy just before entry to the gun barrel bit.
  3. Rollercoaster - While grade 4, you could get away with read and run, but seeing the second half of the feature is hard from up top. Line of sight is possible to the bottom. There's a hole near the end
  4. Last Hurrah - Grade 3 read and run, grade fun. Very relaxed compared to the rest of the river.

Other Notes

Worth doing after the upper if you have time. But make sure you're in groups for easy. The get in is a little awkward because of a fence.
