23 This is the bottom of the ‘typical range’ on the chart. Burrs is a scrape but the playspot is deep enough for flat water playboating.
37 Burrs is low but can be paddled without scraping.
42 High Low level. Rammie run just possible. May be a scrape in places.
70 High Level.
75 High level. Big weir only doable down the steps which will have turned into just 2 big steps
78 High Level. Broken weir all the way across river with very small eddy. Possible backloop on wave in Nutall gorge in playboats! TNT wave working. Big weir only doable down steps.
118 BIG! Wave under Burrs road bridge working as a playspot. Broken weir surfable from either side of river. Everything else washed out at Burrs. Big weir was a no go!
134 HUGE!
