Tree update on the Spean

So Bridget and I headed for a quick run down the Spean. Since Sunday when I last paddled it, the level has dropped somewhat down below the gauge (way less than 1) as well as making the run slightly harder it also allowed us to see the trapped trees that are in the gorge.
This is in a tight constriction that will only be visible  when the river is very low.

At this level you could quite happily fit under it and at 2.5 you could scrape over it with little difficulties however I wouldn't like to get it in between nor be swimming towards it.

The tree are obivously coutesy of Hurricane Bawbag  you should be able to see these and make a safe decision with plenty of time to spare but don't get caught out all the same.
