Paddlers: Ali 'Princess' Moon Will 'Karen' Thomas Mawdsley Sanne 'Flip-Flop Salto' Naron Fergus 'Burgurs Concurs' McClean
Level: Medium High
Report:
After leaving a group of worryingly naked durum/leeds/endlandy people at the spean we headed for "that shitbag" the Arkaig. Back on the water we fearlessly battled across the perilously flat loch to the entrance. A fair bit more flatness was skilfully negotiated before reaching the first and only rapid of the run. Sufficed to say a maelstrom of confusion and resigned amusement ensued when Sanna managed to fall out of our eddy just above the section into a tiny stream on the far right, ending up standing in the water out of her boat. A bewildered and and somewhat impatient moon went to sort it out while Burgers and Will ran the grade four taking some 'interesting lines'. They were soon joined by Moon while Sanne walked around. The rapid itself was essentially some waves followed by a small drop to be run on river right with a bit of a meaty stopper at the bottom. 3 more descents of this by Will, Burgers and Moon later and after Sanne had run the all together more relaxing far left of the island line, we all agreed the Arkaig had been worth a look.
