HI, the blocks on the left just before drop 4 are not just to test you, they are there for a reason, youre supposed to wait in the eddy behind them in case there are any playboaters playing below the drop. This wasn't the case for you, but normally if there are, you cant really see them from above until its too late, a tell tale sign would be someone standing bank side river right, so you wait in the eddy behind the blocks for a thumbs up to let you know they've cleared for you.

Many thanks for this comment and the heads up.
The blocks are not downstream obstacles, they are to create eddies to pivot into/out of
Thank you for your comment.
can you hire a sit in kayak or play boat here?
Thanks for the comment. I don't know if they hire out equipment. Perhaps contact them via this link northamptonactive.com/contact-us/
