1 & 2 are both
on the Findhorn River in the Scottish Highlands. The Findhorn
is one of the longest and most beautiful of Scottish Rivers,
especially in Autumn. The rapid with the big rocks is Randolph's
Leap. |

3 Taken on the River
Medway in Kent, about 60kms south of London. The River in spate.
Under the bridge at a place called Yalding. The best part of
this was, the boat was brand new. First time on water, a Sanna
in superb state of the art fleck. He popped it, shot up, smacked
the underside of the arch and snapped the end off. We howled.
Medway Canoe Club. In those days based in the Chatham dockyards. |

4 is taken at Hell
Hole, on the River Wye in South Wales just outside Llanstephan.
Hell Hole is infamous in the UK paddling scene, particularly
in spate conditions. |
