Comments: Higher water level. 1.5m on the Buckland gauge. R15 in the Washout Gorge was technical, with a committing climb to a redirect. Main falls were powerful, rigged a guideline to avoid it.

Comment: Couple of "ghost" abseils at the start. One of the bolts on R24 mid drop was coming out. Walk in was better than Descent Leger but still a fair few brambles followed by steep granite slope. Long walk out.
