I enjoy a good electronic gadget! I don't like them for the sale of liking them, and if I can't see the purpose of a good bit of technology, then it is not a good bit of technology.

The emergence of the iPhone was a good example. The phone on its own was just another phone, however when you add the right applications & learn to use them properly, suddenly the iPhone served a purpose. The turning point with the iPhone for me was finding an application that allowed me to set up interval training sessions.

Come on people, Lets not cover up what happened at the Avon Descent this year.
The great boat swapping scandal should be exposed and bought to light in this very forum. [Moderator: See comment below]

Over the next few days expect several competitors to be identified for craft swappping. [Moderator: I'm leaving the topic here but the site will not be allowing such content]

If you have evidence of boat swapping over the weekend, bring it forward.

2010 Avon Descent
A Short Plastic Story

I started on the second last grid of the day in the short plastics category, behind the hundreds of other craft. I portaged around the weir, running probably 500m and put back in. As I pushed back into the water, the guys I started the race with on grid 70 were just passing me. What a waist of energy that was.

Hello all,

Doing our first Avon Descent this year (515) and would really like people's opinions on what are the best things to do on this the final weekend (given the water levels that is).

We have done Northam to Toodyay; and a couple of runs from Walyunga to Bells and a little beyond. Otherwise, we are both unfamiliar with the rest of the course.

What other sections (if any) are doable and worth doing this weekend?

If none, where would you be going instead?

P.S.
To preempt - yes - we have already started practicing running with our bath tub, I mean kayak.
