Graham will you be doing your search via FPV?
These 250 quads are just too small to see orientation at any great distance LOS for me.
I would hate to see you lose another one.

I thought Gary falls was the only piece of Grade 5 in Scotland. I paddled both when I was younger.
I love Glen Etive. I use to camp there with my Mum and dad every summer. :)

Not now Lee. My local river in Kinlochleven is a 6, the Leven. There are many more now and a lot of them tributaries off mountains, very steep and technical. Full flow spate, Etive is mad, full on hard:)

I remember the Etive having wall to wall stoppers with no get out points :o
I use to love jumping into the big pools below the waterfalls. Crystal clear, but absolutely BALTIC!!!! (freezing for the non Scots :D )
