The concrete ledge 50m downstream from the up-weir that you can hit as part of a line, with plenty of space for a flats trick between the ledge and the weir. Even though it’s in the middle of the city, the bust factor is low. We had no complaints and at one point 40+ people watching & taking photos. Great place to tie the winch to and good landing, but stay away from the side as there is a mean tree under the water that Terry has the scars to verify. Also keep your mouth closed, the water looks clean but Liam and Ollie were sick the next day. Right next to a car park, another perfect spot. This is a BIG up-weir with a long flat section you have to ollie on at the bottom, before riding up the wall to a 2-metre step-up gap at the top.
