Etive, Scotland 27.12.05

Etive, 27 December 2006.

 

We knew the water levels were low as we headed north but the Etive can be paddled with barely any water in it as we were about to prove.

 

Getting in at Triple steps we slid down the first two drops and boofed the third.

 

I followed the guys down blindly until we reached Big Man Falls /Right Angle falls, a quick inspection revealed a 6 / 7 m drop depending upon who you believe, guarded by a dogleg of a drop which offers huge pin potential at these low levels.
