The put-on section is grade 2 to 3 depending on flow.
It features a mix of small slides and boulder gardens. There are some low branches, so be careful in high flows.
Below the stone bridge there are a few grade 2 rapids before the river meets the sea.
This is the section where Cranafest runs the boatercross.
Clip the right of the hole above the bridge for the fastest line.
Then aim for the tongue left of river centre (slightly to the right of it if possible) above the bridge, and work right to the centre of the river for the fastest line.
No specific hazards noted.
No access issues noted.
