Avon Descent 2016 - 10 Day1 West Toodyay Bridge
Channel: Terry Russell

Helmet Camera footage of the 2016 Avon Descent. This one shows the last bridge before the TiTrees and then the Valley; West Toodyay Bridge.

A good spot to pitstop and get setup for the approaching TiTrees. It's also the last place your support crew can drive right up near the river bank, and get to you without sloshing thru mud. The next easy support crew access is Possults Ford, after the trees and on the second day!

When I get here I start to cheer up, as the TiTrees are so much more exciting than the DAMM SHALLOW POOLS! Apologies, I had many hours alone in them today :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!!
