Course Description: Initially there is a section of flat boily water. A rocky weir follows, with opportunities to play. The railway passes overhead, and another broken weir offers a chute on river left. The next bit to look out for is the Grade 3 section at ‘Mile End Mill’, the large building on river right. A broken weir begins these rapids, watch out for debris in it…Look for paddlers queuing for or actually in the play stopper below this weir. The Factory site ends where the river splits around an island, go left (as right has a nasty spiky weir). From the bottom of the island it is a relatively easy run down to the finish which will be river right above the weir that marks the starts of the town falls rapids
