For the last four years paddlers have congregated in the North-West of Scotland for the Wet West Paddle Fest. What more could you ask than for two days of fun filled paddling. The weekend starts on the Friday night in the British Aluminium Club, Fort William where you can meet up with fellow boaters and pick up your event passes. Saturday is the River Garry event, which is a fairly easy paddle with good playspots and easy access along its length. It is equally suitable for less experienced boaters as well as the hardened pros. A shuttle service is provided and will be operating from approximately 10am to 4pm on both days of the event. We hope to have food and demo boats available at the take-outs. To finish your first day off with all your new paddling pals, it's back to the British Aluminium Club for some evening fun! Sunday is mainly for those who prefer a steeper challenge, the River Moriston! It is both excellent to paddle and fantastic fun to spectate, with most of the rapids easily accessible for photo opportunities to impress your mates that couldn't make it. The harder parts of the Moriston are the top section (just below the dam) and the final section from the A82 bridge to the end of the gorge. A more moderate grade 3 paddle can be taken on the middle Moriston, between the two sections. Keep an eye on the web site (www.wetwestpaddlefest.co.uk) for more information and tickets will be on sale through the SCA website (www.canoescotland.com) from June onwards.
