Lilly Groupies, …
Author: madamax / Category: whitewater kayakThe largest group we ever managed on the Lilly.
4 fully loaded rafts for a fairly large group of local residents and nationals.
Water was high over the week end and sections at a challenging level
We bailed out at “La langue”, a nasty looking drop which keeps boats and flush down swimmers past the hole!
Everything else went more or less smoothly with quite a few swims from unstable passengers, …
2 rafts capsized + 3 swims! That’s the very first rapid 200ms after launching, …
Wish we had more week ends like those, they’re great fun and everybody enjoyed the day.
Le portefeuille, just above “La Lola”, with so much water, the hole is full and it doen’t fold the boats that much!.
We took some time on the river for a cool lunch in the gorges and finished the descent in the afternoon.
Next week again with a smaller group of residents, but I won’t be there for the pictures!
Possibly the best drop of the section. First swimmed by “accident” by Lola, an epic weekend souvenir,
Last rapids before the pull out 50 meters above “Les Chutes de la Lilly” a classic tourist attraction.

This looks like a really fun river to paddle!
