Awww YEAH, WWPF, YEAH.
So, that time of the year rolls around when a metric shit-tonne of paddlers descend on Fort William for a weekend of drinking, kayaking, drinking, and the Morriston (but mostly just drinking).
On the Saturday, the super sexy Upper Morriston (probably the best river I have paddled in Scotland; Grade 4) is on the cards, with the "Meh"ddle Morriston (Grade 2/3) also in play for those with a less adrenaline-junkie disposition. Finally, the kayaking is rounded off with a swift blast of the Lower Morriston (Grade 4/5). I have been reliably informed that you will feel like you've just had a glucose enema after this run.
After this, the Bothan Bar in Kinlochleven offers a party where you can get your drink on.
*Statutory Notice* Please don't piss off the staff as they may call you a chubby *insert expletive here*.
On Hangover Sunday, the Garry is being released so if bouncy Grade 3 is your thing; then this is the shit for you.
Some highlights from previous years include:
Disco getting exceptionally drunk and returning to his natural state - in some trees... naked.
resident FatLAD getting abused by the barstaff.
Disco upsetting an elderly English gentleman. Something about boating and holding it up?
The party.
A pretty dece campsite.
Peter's drive.
The Morriston.
Will in the doghouse.
Something about a hat and some sick?..
WHEN: 18/09/15 - 20/09/15
WHERE: Fort William.
WHO: You. No, you. But seriously, everyone can come along.
HOW: What do you mean, how?!
WHAT: Many paddles and alcohols.
Fergus made a video about it, here check it out: www.vimeo.com/74636535
You will need to buy a ticket if you want to use the bus shuttles, get into the party on Saturday, and get a nice t-shirt. Get it here: canoescotland.org/events/highlighted-events/wet-west-paddlefest-2015
P.S. This is a sign up.
