OK, this is an unexpected gallery under this Category! We went to Abbey Rapids on Saturday in preparation for me racing on the Sunday. We thought we would watch the Premier races and arrived just as the 1st runs were ending. We then stood on the bank and watched the river level rise between 3 and 4 feet in about 1hour! Upstream gates became actual upstream gates that were impossible to negotiate and the event was cancelled.

So why the gallery here? Well, a handful of paddlers got on to enjoy the hole that appeared below the main drop and entertain all those on the bank with some impromptu freestyle moves in slalom boats :-) You will not see any slalom poles in this gallery! Many thanks to one and all, you gave us a great photo opportunity as can be seen below. Feel free to comment and maybe identify the showboaters - particularly in the images where they are not actually IN the shot!

If you wish us to send you any of these images, simply note down the complete image numbers and go to the Sunday slalom gallery where you will find PayPal details etc.

ENJOY!
