Leven

Leven

A short (6 minutes) section of whitewater fed by Windermere in the Lake District. A series of drops and rapids. This was the site of the “Leven Test” a time trial where the results were adjusted for weather and water conditions. Competitors would be awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze “Dipper” badges depending on their adjusted time.

Not a race venue any more, but a site that is used by the British Team for training when visiting the lakes. River Leven Footage starts at 1:50 in the following video
