Flow: High

Incidents: flipped above the buffer hitting my head solidly on the wall and went down the rest of the rapid up side down rolling up near the bottom.
Decided i wanted to step up today and dropped into cesspit George it was higher than Phil or Greg had done it and nerves were running high at the top. i launched in and waited in the eddy up top once it was time to go Phil went first followed by Greg then me. the cave drop went well. but the two eddys below were only big enough for the other two so i kept going. i found myself to far right so i went to move across and as i did so i flipped in a hole and hit my head on the wall i managed to roll up for a second before being flipped over again and carried on down until i finally rolled up and paddled out the rest of the rapid. we had a few Minuit's to relax while the others walked down and we set off down the grade 3.
Thanks to Greg Lee for the Photos.
