Washburn

A short classic race with small chop all the way down the course, great fun and deceptively tricky to get really clean lines. There are three main features; a small straightforward drop, the main weir feature as seen in the image above and the final broken weir section approx 200m below the main weir. There is access alongside the river for the entire length of the course, and the main features can all be inspected prior to running if desired. Egress is now above the road bridge river left into the British Canoeing owned facility.

There are often releases during the summer as this forms part of the water supply to the main cities.
