Rafting and more canyoning

Just some pictures from the weekends charity rafting on the Tummel, and exploring lower Keltney Burn canyon with the view of running it with groups if the upper section was to high due to lots of rain. The outcome was that we would not take commercial groups in for 2 main reasons, In the event of an accident or the river rising very quickly, there was no egress only back at the start back down the gorge, and secondly the amount of rock fall that there has been and the amount that is going to happen in the very near future.

Exploring Upper Keltney

Today a little bit of staff training along with an exploratory mission of the upper section of a canyon where we go with clients, 6 km of unknown and very little escape once we were in. It was very dark deep in the canyon so photos were quite hard to get. Lots of trees and debris scattered the canyon but w it was still a superb place where very few people have ventured.
