Anyone want to do a late Sunday run on the Digbee. Meet Weston at 1530 if the water comes.

Is the Digbee worth a drive from Sydney?

Griff · « **Reply #7 on:** February 13, 2014, 07:59:49 PM »

IMH yes. It will be touch and go. Will likely be able to make a call Sun morning on if it is going to be runable.

Let me know if you need a shuttle bunny mate

Simon, yep. You should be able to do a double lap pretty easy. It's not the longest run but it's one of the best in NSW without a doubt.

BJ · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2014, 03:30:32 PM »

I'll come, although the heavens had better open up sometime soon!

Mick

Thanks for the offer. We might take you up on your offer if the rains come. I can only make a late afternoon run due to other committements. It might be that I fall in on a second lap if others want to do an ealier run.

Send down the rain

mr tickle · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2014, 04:41:40 PM »

Cool cool. Will keep my eye on this thread sat night / sun morning to see if its a go, otherwise if someone could give me a shout that would be great. 0406186279. If it is a go where is the spot to meet?

Mickg · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:22:17 PM »

Here is a link to the guage at the start of the grade 3 run http://waterinfo.nsw.gov.au/water.shtml?ppbm=410039&rs&1&rslf_org. It is more relevant than the wee jasper guage. Min level is also about 1.2 on this guage. Curently sitting on 1 m at 7:51 PM. I will check it in the morning. Unfortunately I do not thinK that there will have been enough rain

BJ · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2014, 08:06:58 PM »

Thanks for the link, I couldn't view it on my phone, so ill be awaiting your report mate

Upper catchment had 30+mm today so may yet come up.

Goob is at 1.3 and rising.

The Digbee guage at Brindabella is at 1.18 and is still rising. Looks like we will get some more rain today (Only about 5 mm). I am keen to paddle, albeit that it is going to be on min level. Dave B and Stu are keen to do the top (Grade 3 section) only. Might I suggest a group RV at Weston McDonalds at 1 PM and they do the top section. I will RV at Weston McDonalds at 3.30Pm and we can go to the put in of the grade 4 section.

Give me a ring if you are going to paddle. 0499047662. I am going to have phone only access today.

For those driving on Gentle Annie Track please be very careful. There is a big hole about halfway down that has seen a number of 4wds roll in the last month.

Mick if you are able to your support to drive shuttle would be appreciated.

We're heading over to the Goob a bit earlier, probably leave Canberra around 9:30 on the highway. Aiming to get a couple of runs on the gorge then home via brindabella with a quick paddle on the top section of the digbee.

Hope the hole on Gentle Annnie is not too big. My car only just makes it..

Stu - you're welcome to join us. Give me a call if you're keen.
