I remember scouting this river nearly 15years ago with my best friend Will Copestake at the very start of our padaling journey. It was always a dream we had about running this. Absolutely first class run and video. Looking forward to more!
I was lucky enough to get some beginner experience on the River Dee between Aberdeen and Banchory, and the first time I went over a drop of maybe a foot high between rocks, it was a fair thrill 😊. I can only try to imagine what a drop of those heights would feel like. You must get thumped down into your seat hard? Never heard of that river and I’ve been to Ullapool quite a few times, but not off the beaten track. Great stuff 👍🏻
Man this was sick. This river looks class, the woodland looks beautiful. Couldn’t believe it when you flew down that waterfall, thought it would be too big for that. This video makes you want to take up kayaking 😄🤙
Cheers Matthew! Yeah it's an absolute belter of a run. Doesn't need too much rain, similar to get the etive/Roy running decently as it's got a decent catchment. If the Einig/Carron/Cuileig in the surrounding area are at medium/high or higher you stand a good chance of catching it! Have done it with a lot less water than this and I think it could handle a bit more too (although you'd need to be careful not to get swept into any of the big falls) Logistics are a wee bit tricky but the estate are very welcoming and have been happy to let us drive up for a small fee. If you're going in, let me know and I'll put you in touch with them!
@@duncanstewart5221 that's awesome! Yes, for sure. Good info. And thank you. I will be sure to drop you a message - hoping to head up to Scotland in the autumn/winter.
Ahh no gauge unfortunately. I tend to go off the other local runs. The Einig and Carron have similar catchment so if they are high there's a good chance the Douchary is in. Also the Lael on route from the south should have a bit of water in it.
Totally brilliant! Haven’t been on a rapid for 30 years or so. And never anything like those!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Stunning river, amazing scenery and sweet lines.
I really felt the joy of paddling, watching this video.
Nice work, fellas.
Beautiful river! Looks like great fun.
Gorgeous water! Thanks for posting. You nailed it. That's a life well lived.
Sick lines from all of yous! What an awesome run
Best run i've never heard of!
Yes!!! Ran along the length of this in may and kept thinking it must have been run, or if havent needs to be. Sick work lads

Natures fairground...
Probably the sickest line I'll ever pull off. Can't wait for another lap!
beautifull river, and dome really solid lines!
What a sick ditch!! Clean lines too!
Beautiful country!
RESPECT from the Alps for you 🎉 That's what guys are for 😅
fuck that looks mint, move back to the highlands next month after too many years away and this will be on my list.
Ooh ya hoo'er min,. 😮😮😮
Cool hidden gem
That's got to be a contender for best waterfall run in the UK (if not further afield!). Looks incredible. How often does it run?

Absolute class run boys, does it have a gauge you're using other than your local reference rivers?

@@duncanstewart5221 Thats super useful info and what you said about the estate on the oher comment. Cheers man, appreciated your Ling video by the way
What’s the season for this?
