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.

Just an invitation to any paddlers who would like to join a paddling group.
We meet on Wednesday nights at Garret rd Bridge in Bayswater at 6PM. We've started with a 12km paddle and will build up over the comming weeks. Ave speed is 9km/hr so its a steady pace but we do throw some sprints in. I would love to see other 'wave hoppers' join in but other plastics are welcome. The focus will be creating a group that will then stay together for valley runs and T Tree practise. Hope to see you there.

what are your clothing recommendations to keep dry and/or warm on a cold winters day on the river?

To celebrate it being 30 weeks until the next Avon (or so),I've listed here the links to the 10 week training program (and also 'cos a reader asked me to do it...)

Just follow this cycle 3 times, with a 'serious' race at the end of each cycle. The third cycle will need to be altered a little depending on when, or if it rains.

Week 1.
Week 2.
Week 3.
