River Braan

Phil and Cam went out for a run on the Braan yesterday and then headed to the Tay for a play session. Levels were ok. It had dropped alot since the Saturday. But we had fun. Phill was paddling a small Burn and Cam was in his Medium Ammo.

You can see from the pictures how much snow was still around at the put in and the take out below.
