Some very nice Ace of Spades action on the Salzachöfen. The gorge is around class IV and Hufeisen is the crux rapid.

The proposed hydro scheme on the River Conwy has been getting a fair bit of news recently, particularly on social media. In summary one of the greatest stretches of whitewater in the UK is still under real threat.
Alternative power sources are an important part of our overall energy plan in the UK the small benefit in power generation in this case needs to be weighed against the damage to the river and surrounding ecosystem.
Please some time to read the FAQ summary here. You will also find details on how you can have your say about the scheme.

Another old school classic hot on the heels of Operation Zulu. With the permission of Corran Addison I have converted it to MP4 and put it online.
Corran Addison, Nico Chasing, Steve Fisher and Dan Campbell take starring roles in this short but action packed video that is watchable time and time again. The editing is quite jumpy, fast – sort of MTV style, but the boating is good.
If you were on the North Tyne today from 11.00am through to 3.30pm the chances are I have a photograph of you or your group. Water levels were sitting at around 0.9 on the gauge but the water was rising throughout the afternoon.
Heavy rain in the area has sent all of the main ww rivers mad. The North Tyne, South Tyne, Tees, and Swale are all on the rise. So Sunday looks like pick and mix of classic northern whitewater. Make your choice.
