Exact spotMy flip over spot was on the chute just below the bridge, which sounds like the same place as yours. I felt much happier stuck at the side of the course with a stopwatch and a clipboard. Who the hell invented these daft cramped boats anyway?
I'm old and past it now, so mainly paddle an open Canadian these days (it tips, you fall out, no problem!), though I have bought a long, thin, pointy boat to do the Avon Descent this year (but probably next as I'm so unfit at the moment).
