Hard to tell, but its been

Hard to tell, but its been pretty wet this weekend with the Upper Spean on 4pipes yesterday.  Forecast for the week looks cold with plenty of precipitation due to come in toward next weekend so it could be good so long as everything doesn't fall as snow.  I reckon it should be worth a trip anyway - theres always something, and it could turn out to be epic!

Laggan Dam

Laggan dam was releasing on 5 pipes on Friday.  Been raining overnight and it raining this morning in Spean Bridge.  Dam will still be going and Roy could have some decent water.  Happy paddling :o)
