    Had to check this out since inflatables are normally quite hard to capsize.

      I live in the US so it would be quite the trip. Just got an inflatable kayak that I use on the small lake where I live.

      @@edevans5991 Ah, right. It's Scotland's fastest flowing river, dropping from the Cairngorm mountains to the North Sea at the Moray Firth. Normally no more serious than grade 3 at most, but it's treacherous just now due to something of a drought throughout the summer leaving water levels very low - there are lots more protruding rocks and debris build up. We've had a number of serious incidents recently, including one kayak fatality. With lots of rain forecast though - at last - conditions will hopefully improve.
      If you plan on doing it, don't hesitate to get in touch if you need info.
