River Dart weekend 2-3 February

Upper Dart, Saturday: when we got on the water we split into 2 groups: Phil, Matt, Alan, Haydn, Hywel; and Del, Nathan, Tom, and Adam. It was low water but Tom capsized twice in the first 200 yards which was one reason why we thought two groups would be better than one. (It was Tom's first river trip, other than Hurley weir!). The main feature of the trip wa sthat Phil had a bad hangover so that he looked white and various shades of green at various points on the trip. He nevertheless managed to make a video:

Lower Dart, Sunday: I don't have details of who paddled. The main highlight unfortunately was that Jordan had to be taken to hospital with a head wound and possible concussion. Luckily, they glued his head back on and he's reported as being well again.
