White Water Canoe Trip - River Ettrick - Jan 2010

[tubalul]

Not sure which one you meant, but I think on one there's a red throw bag and on the other a white plastic milk container, used as a bailer.

[hunterthelord]

was that a traffic sign in the hull of the red canoe?

sorry to point it out, just made me chuckle.

[tubalul]

@noneshallpass1 Not surprised - hope you enjoyed the vid though.

@noneshallpass1 - I know, by the time I realised I'd scrapped the movie build, if I remember rightly I was going to put River Ettrick, Scottish Borders or something like that. Still irritates me a little though!!

I've just got into canoeing, Amazing fun, it's taken control of my life!

[tubalul]

@On1Ei8htSe7en Have a look at songofthepaddle.co.uk - a brilliant site for open canoes. Loads of water right now as well!!!

@tubalul

Thank you very much. Trying to convince friends to take up the sport. Going solo all the time isn't the ideal situation.

[canoetexas]

Well done on the rapids and the video!

[tubalul]

@canoetexas Many thanks, was looking to finish another vid for this year but I haven't made enough time yet.

[nathanshepherd1]

Looks fun.

[tubalul]

@nathanshepherd1 Thanks - great fun, though apart from one 4 day trip, haven't done much this year.

Impressive and fun! A few forward strokes through those rapids would stabilize the boat and give the speed to avoid those spills...

great commitment!

[tubalul]

@avlclimber Don't forget, reverse strokes do the same thing & give you more time to react in an open boat as well.

Looks like fun, but cold!

@madogblue

Fine if you've got a good dry suit, though fingers took a while to warm up!

Nice job ^_^

Seems you improve both your video editing skill and paddling skill.
