My first time on the Swale, which is a shame as it is only 50 minutes away from me. The team consisted of 2 older members (myself and Lee) and 4 of the next generation: George (19), Tom H (18), Tom F (15) and Dan (14). We arrived at the get on at about half 9 to find the river at a good low level (0.6 on the gauge). The river is definately worth the hype, it was a hell of alot of fun! Smiles all around at the get off, despite the snow falling. Speaking of the snow, we couldnt get out of Swaledale the way we came (Kirkby Stephen) so had to turn around and go the slower route home via Hawes.
