Helmet Camera footage of the 2016 Avon Descent. This one shows my ride and capsize down Extracts Weir.

I'll let this video speak for itself, my pride at the top got the better of me, I was over confident and didn't slow myself down enough = my first capsize of my 13 year Avon Descent career :P

The race water level at the Walyunga Paddlers Gauge was 0.64m today and the calculated TiTrees level was 0.66m (the gauge is now inaccurate, we use http://www.whitewaterperth.org.au/water-level.html instead)

The level is rising rapidly and could be 0.7-0.8m tomorrow in the Avon Valley, here's hoping!!
