The Boyne is running at a medium level as of today. Just right for the wave at Stackallen. ;)

High level this morning. Wave at Stackallen is greening out. Slane castle weir perfect level for surfing creekers. ;)

LOST: double paddle. Make: TNP, 220cm. Metallic with black and red tips. Lost on Friday (5th Feb).
Started paddling from Navan car parking. Lost after 45 min relaxed and sleepy paddling, at the second weir. :)
Just before the first bridge (Dunmoe bridge, but not sure about the name).

Any ideas, chances to get it back?

Level as of this evening 19/2: Medium/Low, the wave at Stackallen is small with a bit of a shoulder surfers left. Still worth a paddle if there is nothing else. ;)

Note - There is quite a bit of litter at the put in for Stackallen. It's unlikely this is from paddlers but please do be mindful to take your rubbish home with you.

Level is low as of 9th March. On the up side you can now paddle down from Stackallen to the slalom course at the S bend and back upstream again afterwards.

Em very low...although the wee hole on the side canal has had some trees cleared from it and is worth running. Get out on river left after the diagonal weir and walk back up to it.

Very very low at the minute. It's only worth going down to the slalom site. You can paddle back upriver to Stackallen at the minute. This drought had better end soon. :cry:
