Well, after the day on the Loana, today was always going to be slow. This morning Tim fired up the waterfall on the Gronda with Matt and after lunch made a high water run on the rest of the Gronda with Nick and myself, the Sorba Slides were sporty, but Matt dropped Tim off in Milan this evening and will be at Palm HQ in the morning in one piece.

Cheers for the days in sunny Italia

Second Day, boat weilding for breakfast, then sun burn for lunch, followed by 8 hours on the river, and at least 4 200m slide combos on the Alpe Basso and Loana. In Valsesia today for Egua and Gronda in the sun.

First Day on the Verzasca, high water on the middle section, good action, some great shots and I managed to find a metal rod in the bedrock, so we’re off to fix my Nomad by the Loana.

The gutter/chute at the Cascada di Loana is indeed sick (run by Jamie in 2007). However last year the works from the dam above left a large tree jammed right in the top of the chute (below the first drop). The area is a beauty spot on the edge of town, with sunbathers and a forest walk, so perhaps the municipal authorities have seen fit to cut out the tree (as it’s very unlikely to have been washed away).
