Upper Tummel and the road to the end of the world!




So this wasn't a Paul Walker organized trip but its going up as a blog any way.

Once upon a Friday Ben, Christine, Stuart (Ben's mate), Sean and I wanted to go paddling. So we set off from opposite sides of Scotland and tried... with difficulty to meet somewhere in the middle.

After a few hours of high tec roof bar instillation and a hundred phone calls later we met at the upper Tummel. When I say upper i really really mean it. you just keep going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going.

Was a really good river with lots of wee rapids on to slide off and then a big 4+ in the middle.
Stuart and Sean ran it with style and i sat in the pool at the bottom pretending to be responsible.

Would be a great fresher river if it wasn't sooooo far away as we could scare them all shitless making them watch the safety run the waterfall.



The rest of the river was fun wee things like the start, ending in a big long slide which was triple the speed I expected it to be!

Awsome day out. Got pretty expensive on petrol though.... not helped by taking the accidental scenic route on the way home...
