Tango on the Fassfern More properly known as An t-Suileag, the Scottish Whitewater guidebook defers to many people's ability (a tad on the poor side) to pronounce Gaelic and calls it the Fassfern, as most kayakers do. Though short (less than two kilometres from a put-in just above this point) and often in condition for only a few hours after heavy rain, it is full of interest. This is the hardest bit, and gets grade 5 in some guidebooks. The run in to the drop seen here is not straightforward, and it is critical to stay upright and make an eddy, as the river is then blocked by a large pinning rock just out of view to the right. A ferry across the jet and a line tight on river left then gets you down to easier water. Although this drop looks quite powerful in the photo, the level was dropping and this is barely enough to get down the river - most people would aim to run with a bit more water. However this was our second river of the day and a bit of an afterthought - with better planning we'd have done the Fassfern first and the Ailort second.
