Scotland 2012 – So Far

We’re having a blast in Scotland so far. Despite levels being low for the first couple of days we’ve managed to get some decent paddling in. After a day paddling the Orchy on Saturday we ran the Spleen George and the Roy Gorge yesterday with plenty of carnage and a fair share of faff, true to SUCC tradition. Today we’ve had a little Etive session in the rain. In fact, so much rain that by the time we walked up to the Allt A’Chaorainn it was absolutely stonking. A few of the guys ran it: check out all of the pictures below.
