Today after all the rain and snow it was a lot deeper than a dry June and we where glad we of the wadding ability of the XC with it's very high air intake.

It was very deep and very long ;-)

Like the other clip the water level is low compared to last Sunday

I had a go last autumn on my Beta Alp.... I got through to the third section and then conked out waist deep in water.

I then had a surreal and exhausting 30 minute push to the end.

After fearing the worst i manged to drain the water from the plug lead and it started . I would love to do it again but need a little less water and some company.

cheers
