Having said that, I have no experience with using inflatables. Our 'yaks are plastic sit-on jobs from Anaconda which did the job fine but there was quite a bit of lugging involved. A friend has done the paddle more recently and with higher water levels. He has a similar 'yak to mine from memory but I haven't heard how he went.<br />So, on balance, I'd probably have to say unsure, but good luck and let me know how you get on.<br />Cheers,<br />JoJo Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109720134974590748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127190147676724766.post-52258096672704940482019-07-30T12:46:53.663+10:002019-07-30T12:46:53.663+10:00Hi Jo

I'm thinking of trying this paddle also.<br />would you recommend inflatable (for rapids and portage) or hard shell recreational yak for ease of paddling? Or unsure (is ok)<br />cheers<br />MurrayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409135177777713983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127190147676724766.post-26826971505359911172017-02-19T10:49:39.193+11:002017-02-19T10:49:39.193+11:00jeepmate@outlook.com

The nearest weir would have been about a mile upstream at the top of the weir race and yes, I believe I have some photos. There is also a natural (I think) rock barrier right near the mill. I have photos of that from water level too. I can email some if I have an address.Jo Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109720134974590748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127190147676724766.post-42498923074880155692017-01-08T10:51:12.844+11:002017-01-08T10:51:12.844+11:00Loved reading this.
