Super cool run, one of my favourites. We did heaps and heaps of surfing waves and holes. Logie broke the van with his crazy driving. Epic road.
8/3
Dogleg and Roaring Meg
Grade 3
Flow: 145 cumecs
Logie gave us a mega work out making us follow him and catch every eddy on the top half of the run! Picking our own lines and getting used to boily big water. Meg was scary as, but also good fun, especially once man eater didn't quite get me.
9/3
Roaring Meg
Grade 3
Flow: 130 cumecs
Very tired but feeling more relaxed and better on the big water. Epic week!
