I remember scouting this river nearly 15years ago with my best friend Will Copestake at the very start of our padaling journey. It was always a dream we had about running this. Absolutely first class run and video. Looking forward to more!
Man this was sick. This river looks class, the woodland looks beautiful. Couldn’t believe it when you flew down that waterfall, thought it would be too big for that. This video makes you want to take up kayaking 😄🤙
When I first read the title, I didn’t realize that the river’s name was Douchary. I thought the title was talking about getting up to some douchary on the river or something like that😆.
I was lucky enough to get some beginner experience on the River Dee between Aberdeen and Banchory, and the first time I went over a drop of maybe a foot high between rocks, it was a fair thrill 😊. I can only try to imagine what a drop of those heights would feel like. You must get thumped down into your seat hard? Never heard of that river and I’ve been to Ullapool quite a few times, but not off the beaten track. Great stuff 👍🏻
Cheers Matthew! Yeah it's an absolute belter of a run. Doesn't need too much rain, similar to get the etive/Roy running decently as it's got a decent catchment. If the Einig/Carron/Cuileig in the surrounding area are at medium/high or higher you stand a good chance of catching it! Have done it with a lot less water than this and I think it could handle a bit more too (although you'd need to be careful not to get swept into any of the big falls) Logistics are a wee bit tricky but the estate are very welcoming and have been happy to let us drive up for a small fee. If you're going in, let me know and I'll put you in touch with them!
@@duncanstewart5221 that's awesome! Yes, for sure. Good info. And thank you. I will be sure to drop you a message - hoping to head up to Scotland in the autumn/winter.
Ahh no gauge unfortunately. I tend to go off the other local runs. The Einig and Carron have similar catchment so if they are high there's a good chance the Douchary is in. Also the Lael on route from the south should have a bit of water in it.
Stunning river, amazing scenery and sweet lines.
I really felt the joy of paddling, watching this video.
Nice work, fellas.

Seriously one of the best videos I've seen in my life.
Totally brilliant! Haven’t been on a rapid for 30 years or so. And never anything like those!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Gorgeous water! Thanks for posting. You nailed it. That's a life well lived.
Beautiful river! Looks like great fun.
yes
Sick lines from all of yous! What an awesome run
Yes!!! Ran along the length of this in may and kept thinking it must have been run, or if havent needs to be. Sick work lads
Best run i've never heard of!
GNARLY! Major respect.
Could be my dream river the weather put apart 😅

What a sick ditch!! Clean lines too!

Bahaha😂
Oh, and this looks absolutely beautiful. Scotland must have some prime places to paddle.
Probably the sickest line I'll ever pull off. Can't wait for another lap!
beautifull river, and dome really solid lines!
That’s the most frightening experience ever. I can see the appeal for .00005% of the population. The camera angles were great.
Beautiful country!
RESPECT from the Alps for you 🎉 That's what guys are for 😅

That looks mighty fun to me. Are your vessels made in China?
Woohoooo baphomet!!
Ooh ya hoo'er min,. 😮😮😮
Awseome! You must have portaged for miles to the put-in point. Also qudos to resisting putting stupid music on the video - just superb
So cool....
Natures fairground...
fuck that looks mint, move back to the highlands next month after too many years away and this will be on my list.
This guy loves pipe
Gnarly!
Крутяк!!! 🤘😆
Cool hidden gem
That's got to be a contender for best waterfall run in the UK (if not further afield!). Looks incredible. How often does it run?

Absolute class run boys, does it have a gauge you're using other than your local reference rivers?
Ahh no gauge unfortunately. I tend to go off the other local runs. The Einig and Carron have similar catchment so if they are high there's a good chance the Douchary is in. Also the Lael on route from the south should have a bit of water in it.
@@duncanstewart5221 Thats super useful info and what you said about the estate on the oher comment. Cheers man, appreciated your Ling video by the way
good times
What’s the season for this?
Where is it?
