Roe

Weather: warm for winter, dry (mostly)
craft: 2 kayaks and 6 open boats
grade: 2-3
(CCKA organised whitewater trip)

led by John Wilkinson, but Robin Ruddock, Owen McCauley and John Vance were all there too.

put in at Carrick Rocks - see map
Steep path and narrow bridge; carrying the boat down much better to carry an empty boat on your head and go back for the kit than carry a laden boat.

water was low

paddled down to just before Dog Leap (Roe Valley Country Park main carpark)
a couple of weirs we ran, a couple we portaged. All were possible to run for more experienced paddlers.

Ate lunch at the carpark and portaged the Dog Leap.
then paddled on down to O'Cahan's rock
