With all the rain that
has plagued the UK in last few months, at least one group of people
are happy. With epic levels on the Thames most weirs were washed out
but I managed a rare surf on Mapledurham weir. It did involve
paddling across a field to get to the river but once I was there it
was brilliant.
If you haven't been to
Mapledurham I definitely recommend it. It's a really easy wave with
a big flat pool behind it, and best of all, it doesn't have the
queues of the more popular weirs like Hurley. Don't go though unless
everything else is too high.
I don't usually make
playboating videos, I find them repetative, but I have just got a new
laptop and was keen to try out the new video editing software.
