Rather than trying to stop them doing it, Welsh Water should just charge them a few quid a gosmile

I haven't got a canoe but I'm sure I can get hold of a few big tyres. Looks great fun.

Fantastic. I always fancied trying something like that when I used to kayak.

It shouldn't be that difficult just fast. We did a similar thing once when we dragged our boats 150ft up a snow covered hilside. That was rather speedy as well!

Don't roll over and make sure you get through the stopper at the bottom and you'll be fine.

Coincidence?

I'd imagine you'd need a decent amount of water going over the lip to avoid ripping the arse out of your boat and that stopper at the bottom was pretty evil if you don't manage to bounce over it.
Bloody good fun though!

Not that that was you, but, hypothetically speaking, do you think that's a good buzz going down there? wink
