Breitach & Loisach

On 1 May was the first club ride of the year. It went to the Breitach in the beautiful small valley. The weather was not at his best, but the nocturnal rainfall could adjust the level to a beautiful low water levels increase, which made it a very nice drive.

A week later, we wanted to take the eigenlich Brandenberger, but had no water. In fact, hardly had a horizontal range in river water, except the wild side. So we went to the Way to Munich on the wild side yet over, and met there with colleagues in Munich for two cozy runs.

Frutz river & Weißach - Steibisschlucht - 24 & 25 April

weekend 24 & 25 April was the long-planned expedition up the Frutz river and a new cover for the Weißach Steibis on the program.
After a less pleasant event on the Frutz river 5 years ago, I had made myself this brook drive finally back. The high temperatures promised a good water level, the online level fluctuated in Laternz 4-6 Kubik. The four drove extra late in order to have enough water, listening to 6 cubic nevertheless better than 4 to
On entry, we noted then, the 6 cubes on the little stream not so little.
it was vested by the first turn, and right on the Power of the output of the small gorge at the beginning of the first tree was wedged, 50 meters ahead of the second. We thought if the core in the canyon can continue like can be dangerous when the water level, so we decided the trees rauszusägen and only the first to drive Gorge part - and then possibly more than once. The 2nd Tree was removed quickly, the first Tree turned out to be really tough issue. After we saw with the little that Karen has indeed always there, could do nothing more, we tried the tree to crack using a pulley system. No sooner said than done, unfortunately, the split tree jammed so stupid that he could not be induced. So we built again on a pulley in the other direction. It ripped a litter bag - because you see something come in a double block for forces on the rope. Well, first it has to do with the tree thing, but at least we have sometimes trained a pulley. We umtrugen the tree and went wide.

sporty and cool properly presented to the 800 m of the gorge entrance, unfortunately, was the trip too short - for a second trip we had but somehow lacked the steam. So we sparkled the buck Boat and went home.
We thought we should take the next day - the address again Frutz river, earlier in the day, with less water, and then complete - or tackle the project, the Weißach Steibis in which I have long buzzing around in my head. Colleagues from Feldkirch, where it has not worked out Saturday, wanted to take the Frutz river.

We decided and who still for the Weißach. As Karen and I arrived at the exit of the water level was still quite poor, the house was level 19 at cm. In order to waste a little time, we decided to do a migration, that is to adjust the car on foot. When we finally with boats at the entrance stood, the water level has increased significantly - it seemed perfect for a first ride.


the Plug course I knew pretty much since I'm already gone through on foot - the first part up to the Buchegger waterfalls for a long long time, the part after the Buchegger waterfalls in Dec. 2006, this I have a Fotodokumetation exactly. Whether the route is worth really should show on this trip, with water to the stream. Up to the falls, there is a canyon section with multiple stages, the last of which I have in mind as impassable. We sampled and, slowly, the first two stages were nice and easy.

Then came a surge of sporting and shortly after the next tear-off edge. This should really be the place impassable. We climbed out to be scouted. Wow is not navigable in any case of not, we are presented a massive double step with left sided scouring that can be secured only from above. The first stage was found to be very snappy and may be underestimated under any circumstances.
Soon, Buchegger waterfalls, waterfall and double the 10 - 11 meter case - wers consumption, both would be mobile. We both umtrugen together with the subsequent cataract drivable. Nice it was on to the next Cataract was good to drive.

Soon after, I was expecting a criterion. The entrance was, unfortunately, full of wood, which forced us to portage. The two core levels, we umhoben with the same, although they had actually gone well, much better than I expected. But we wanted to risk anything because we were just two of the road and it was quite late. The output of the cataract was then a pleasure. After a couple of individual stages was the second criterion, a bold step with a short pool, and subsequent slot, portable but very difficult WW V +. We decided to portage our large area which was very difficult but I knew then the best part of the gorge below. Here the ducks massive surges and beautiful level combinations.

on a 2-meter level, we came to the brood. The stage itself is a compulsory passage can be secured bad ansich they would be gone well - after a short pool followed by a further stage we have only looked from the air, she saw a bit of decline. Although the two levels looked good to drive, we decided to cancel. Our excuse: we were exhausted, poorly hedged forced passage by train to the next position due to a rise in water level now properly (level 31), we were only a couple, it was quite late - we want to risk anything. I am very annoyed that, because I was sure then come two cool ansruchsvolle points and then fading out with WW III. Well what the hell to put safety first. Arriving at the car we were fixed and foxy - but one thing I know, the canyon is worth - it is overall a very alpine mountain stream with very challenging to sometimes very difficult to secure the bodies.
Before any further descent should, however, a few trees are cut out, because these were some of it.
The next day the Feldkirch reported on their Frutz river descent, they were very enthusiastic and gave us a range report - Maybe it works so well but again with the complete Frutz river descent the days.

season on the Opening & Testival Saalach

weekend 17 and 18 April, we went again to the season opening & Testival Saalach. We take the opportunity to test different boats. Our main focus was on the Robson Charger (2009), which will reportedly be a very interesting alternative to the Sportster - the driving characteristics that are enthusiastic about the Sportster so - athleticism, agility, agility, Boofvermögen .......... , in addition, more resources and faster - and the most decisive ... without breaking point.
We were really excited and had initially been a little doubt whether this giant steamer can be really similar to agile and manoeuvrable.
We Arming the Testival site with the necessary material, said the Charger, a Riot Thunder and two Werner Sidekick Paddle, and drove to the entrance of the gorge Lofer. We made two trips through slalom course and Lofer gorge and changed by each of the boats. From
Charger begeitert we were really the driving characteristics mentioned we were able to confirm absolutely, even if the Karen you look at the raw numbers actually much too small for the boat.
the Thunder, who is much less felt, we as a relatively nervous.
On the second day we went through the same program. I would like to once again drove the Charger, but we wanted to test as many different boats. So we rented this time the Prijon Pure and diesel from 70, two subcontent Prijon paddle. We drove on as before twice Lofer gorge.



the Pure we felt was very tiring and slow. The Diesel 70, a really nice boat, on heavy white water conditions, it is all just for lightweights - so at least for me no alternative to the Sportster or Charger.
our personal results of the two test days was so clear - the Charger Robson had clearly in the lead.

Text For Season's Greetings

Corsica 2010

Corsica now so - THE European spring paddle target, preceded by their reputation, in 9 of 10 visits no water to have in the streams ... well, we are happy as the snow kings of the Mediterranean, sun and spring when, on the Sunday before Easter in the afternoon from Lindau losrollten milestone with Livorno. And we decided to also have some water to be happy, after all, we knew many streams and not yet had our youngsters with this, a little less water pressure would be perhaps not so bad!

started seven of us - and to the straight to the point, and seven people came including the rate of women in a play back whole again - in three cars, including of course hot the best coach in the world, the new silver jewelry with an exorbitantly-- Super Renault roof rack, and Matthias, who must feel comfortable as the only Frenchman actually really in the mother country - its low ground clearance and the Corsican roads but could not warm up to the end quite another.

After a loud and short night at the ferry port of Livorno finally in the morning on the ferry and at noon the view awaited holiday! Just arrived was then also taken the Asco Unters PE - except for some fine single site that would become cleaner but also more water to put out this rather than a battle of material and was therefore a good foretaste of Corsican dry rivers. However, our game was dry boat driver after his return crawl no more - thank you at this point for the opportunity to throw bag training!
In the evening we tried it the first time from what we actually did the whole first half of the holiday - in the dark to arrive and eat. Later, we manage to somehow improve our daily routine to ... the campsite at Golo in the blind We therefore actually barely remember because the next day after the descent of the top Golo we needed for about 7 hours and we were overtaken almost every corner, it was even later. The top Golo remained mainly in the first kilometers of its drought in memory. Many side streams filled the creek, however, gradually and then the Golo showed during his nearly 10km its many faces: bedrock slides, steps, splinted cataracts. The double step provoked then the double feature, a second day, second swimmer. ;-)
After a tiring first two days we enjoyed on Wednesday, therefore, first of all a relaxing tour of the WW 3-4 beautiful, light and fast Tavignano Gorge with its majestic plan, then still have plenty of time to go to sea to look for a nice campground and the next day to insert a day off to chill out at sea, etc. ..
The first plan still worked quite well - in brilliant sunshine (that is still bright), we invited back boats and started south. Part 2 (time and have look for a nice camping) failed because the wind chill 75 campsites that we were headed in the next few hours so early in the year unfortunately still closed had and chill at sea was then when darkness and rather un-chill cold then nothing more than we the only Open campground on the south coast based.
The next day we used to explore the Fium Orbo two bikes from the road, we wanted to paddle on the second day after the Travo. The descent of the latter is allowed only on Fridays and Mondays and Easter Monday at the Travo seemed rather then the forecourt to hell to be as relaxed Erstbepaddelung. On the (to us first) five hundred yards we came on Fium Orbo already a well-known northern lights entgegengeschlendert on the way from the trip interruption to the car - now much more subdued than on the evening before when he was on the camp site contact us up had to ... the guys probably realize that the Fium but they demanded a little more than they had expected - the second part, they stood out then for later.

The Travo on Good Friday then presented is certainly one of the highlights of our holiday - Felix mumbled after several days, little more than "Dom, Dom ... for me, we can portage everything ... except the cathedral," and had the night before probably hardly slept!
to sleep he came to the creek but then even more - in a mixture of block cataracts and bedrock slides of Travo was actually from the beginning to its demanding nature. The cathedral itself was really deeply impressive and as we kept to the three beautiful stages a small eternity on. Felix was still totally hyped because even waited the next fun: Pröllerstufe jump around and throw boats into the river before. Then opened the Travo gorge and the river a little character changed back to splinted and partly because the water level a bit messy cataracts. We had to look at us and so much Ron Fischer overtook twice. Even otherwise, as usual we met really all we knew and people you meet almost twice a day when all the island round to make in the same direction ... Peter Lindner, Uwe Extra, the Norwegians - but not the northern lights, oops, who wanted but also Travo ? Paddling Aha, the lower ... all clear, so come on, then later to the C-space age!


The Fium Orbo on Saturday was after the visit by bike, the length of only about 3-4 km and an entirely different character than the Travo then actually a relatively quick but also very very rewarding business. Three distinct nuclear bodies may require viewing and portages, the little water also led to significantly unclean sections than for a few more cubes - the rest was mostly to move in control. The portage around the slot was probably start with a nice clip depend more fun than there are unpleasant to stay or to strike - thanks again to our neoprene driver the first dry suit drivers when boarding helps then selflessly throw his boat into the water and swim behind ;-)
The video evaluation of the men's and women's run, the last core point is still in full swing - that is certain is that both drivers have touched, in contrast to the Northern Lights No stone, although it is rumored, one of them had had a bloody nose ... but these are unconfirmed, of course, just rumors.

was now the nice weather of the first day came to a halt, and on Sunday it poured during our Crossing the mountains on the way to Codi - cheeky as these still had enough water for the descent and after some deliberation it was on to middle Taravo. to always continue with a long neck, which mainly was finally full of water - Contrary to expectations, at least on the first two thirds of a really nice and sporty creek! The last kilometers retreated somewhat unfortunately, we were greeted at the exit and hail, fortunately, our shuttle bunny with a hole in the finger. When we had
arrived in the Bay of Propriano at our campsite it was then, fortunately, ausgeregtet again ... in the warm showers, however, unfortunately. But it was raining in the next Days depending on the wind from time to time about child-head sized pine cones, which often leads to battlefield-like scenes: a buzzing announces the impending strike, terror is spreading to the face, if any, can he hold in your hands, throws himself on the ground and keeps whining hands over his head ... honestly! have been losses by tapping impact but it will not complain, the northern lights, which were purposefully put any mishap like a magnet that is was on the neighboring C-Place and the dent in the habitat anyway it ... should

The Codi us on Easter Monday Rizzanese the tune - with its many slides and Waterfalls prepare like that on the vertical. Unfortunately, the low water levels here disgusted the most fun and led to endless effort and the portages of elbow-eroded slots and sunken slit-like levels. Some impressive slide and steps were fortunately - Modine Felix and Michelle's slide down the big stunts. Since then, we know turn around and upside down upside down turn may look painful - there are only deductions in the B-Note.

So, now for the Rizzanese. During the reaction of the cars came to excitement passed through the first event of the century the region (the zero-Bock-ass turned around), then, two trucks were filled with the huge pipes (probably for the Rizzanese power plant) the bridge does not happen because a small car Constance zuparkte the curve. So we found ourselves in collaboration with the enemy ... four men, four corners, a small car is pretty quick aside gelupft and Rizzanese power plant a step closer to the target L
So, now, however, were defeated on the river ... just 500m , then there was, unfortunately, to complain about even the first losses. Due to an injury, we decided to cancel a trip. The two lovebirds
quota that had not recovered the remaining boats were then still so lost on the Peschel-terror around (a waterfall, which is really rather not ride), as a group of three arrived, the case looked at briefly and then flew in from even the first level ca.7m down the waterfall and directly into the wall. Looked really ugly out. He disappeared forever, including in the return boat down in the corner. After a long time was once again his head to see, then leave. Eventually came the first paddle, then float, then boat and finally swam out man. Having only the injured swimmer, and then paddle the rest of his equipment had fished from the water, we saw him: the Phantom of the Alps, FL, which is probably not swum more than 20 years we have him then! drove his car - he did not want to go to the hospital, because of two broken ribs do not need to finally go to the doctor ...

The next day we relaxed on the lighter lower part of the Rizzanese, while two of the group, tourism in Bonifacio operated.

On Thursday already our second last paddling day had come - the average Rizzanese but should now be defeated in the second trial, but only by a small troop of four. The fact that this little gem from 2011, a power plant project is fall victim really heard the sad part of this story. The Rizzanese was certainly near the Travo the second wild water technology but also scenic climax our visit to Corsica.
Actually, we had never intended the famous 10-meter waterfall to navigate - too precious to us seemed our spine. But when we went after the successful descent already stood the first, about 6 m high waterfall on the edge, he came to us somehow do not seem so bad before ...
A group of mostly old-school drivers rushed rows in T-style Pose the case down to a flat landing, the others seemed more feet deep to drill in the pool - but all showed up and cheered and none seemed to do little harm.
went so well it our Boofmaster but not - is to fly from 10m against the rock wall containing but not soooo funny (many greetings from the knee, ouch).
also presented the second half of the river is still as beautiful, sophisticated and still go almost exclusively to view. All too soon we reached the big bad exit the site and sat on the same day at the Tavignano campsite. Here we expected
spanked a Corsica festival and thus a packed campsite - will reserve that we visited but for the future than the best of all of us: hmmmmm, hot showers !!!!!
the conclusion of our tour formed on Friday of lower Vecchio and the following piece on the Tavignano to the campsite, a section that was curious as to what would have to offer the average well-Vecchio? Corsica, we will definitely come again!
