harrycatcat 31 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 No I have never been there in a boat john but your description of it has made sure that I never will. Never were very keen on the town's boating lake if I am honest when I was a kid Could well catch me watching with a pair of binoculars from the side but I will leave it with you for the rapides and the whirlpools. Regards and respect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
