Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

:D SEPA site shows slight rise last night, so River levels should be more than reasonable. Met office forecast reasonable weather for today and saturday with showers Sunday for Aberfeldy Should be a good weekend, shame I will miss out ! :( Justy have to have lots of fun with my two wee boys instead :p

Riverl Levels slowly dropping according to SEPA (Peebles, River Tweed station): http://www.sepa.org.uk/data/river_levels/data.htm Met office predicting sunny weather Sat/Sun: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/sescotland.html Looks like a good weekend coming up time to get out of the offi...

Confirmed as official Silver to Campbell. Seems a shame after qualification and semis, but we would have accepted silver before so let still heap the congratulations on our medallists. Pity the BBC chat board is dominated by negative criticism, thought of getting involved but hten the standard of di...

Unfortunate for Nick & Stu, missed out on the Final with 9th place.

Campbell storms through into the final in pole position, all our thoughts are with go for gold !

Course being set out today, moved upstream to the sweeping bend above the normal start at the West end of the camping field. All other aspects campsite etc remains as normal.

Never mentioned excitement, liable to move away from exciting to meet with requirements of Div 4. I suppose we can paddle off to the Horseshoe between runs for the excitement.

Well done Campbell, Stu and Nick in qualification. Could Campbell be keeping some reserve for tomorrow and hence the slow down at gate 17 (as also undertaken by Schmidt).

All look strong prospects for medals.

SEPA Gauge shows a significant rise in water level yesterday evening, but peak seems to have passed and levels are dropping around the area.

Ed - Worthwhile checking level on gauge when you were there and providing a few pointers for future reference

Talking to Jim last night, Tweed is running very high. Selkirk crew to take decision today on course. Plan to go ahead but course may be moved away from the horseshoe.

C U There

Well done to Campbell through first runs in pole position, hoping the guys all keep it up in 2nd runs and through to tomorrow. For those who are getting wound up on the inane running commentary, a couple of options: 1/ turn down/off the volume gets rid of all stupid comments and out of context termi...

Not sure about these additional Penalties - hope it isn't GBR Judges on the problem gates.

If you were a Scot you will have developed an ear filter when listening to BBC Commentators that removes most of the cr**.
