Mickey Mouse run

Paddlers. Dom, Ted, Tom and Me

Iv made a short little video of the mickey mouse section that we did. We where lucky enough to have plenty of water for your first 10 or so runs on it. When the water drops the run still goes but the 4-5 meter drop gets really hard to boof and it only lands on a foot or 2 of water. This river has the most fun kayaking packed into 800 - 1000 meter section ever. The great thing about this river is that when your finished you can walk back to the put in and do it again. Enjoy. Oh Ya keep and eye on the blog as im going to have the footage of our lower rauma day up soon.
