After paddling all year on just a few rivers. We decided to go for a walk up the Styx after a quick 1 and a half hour walk we found ourself at the top of some nice looking class 4 drops. keen to get into it Greg Phil and I geared up and ran the top drop which was a lead in of a few holes and a large boof to finish it off. everything went well, everyone had good lines. Met up with Dan and Jake just downstream. We set off finding plenty of clean drops and had the time of our lives running this new river. further down we met up with Sara and Astraea and carried on down to the take out. Today was a sick day and cant wait for more rain.
Thanks to Greg Lee for the Photos.
