We've been told dynamite blasting of the Ugly Sisters channel (next to Silverback/Big Brother) is due to commence in two weeks.
They're going to start blasting the bedrock and also begin to fill the mouth of the channel to block it off.
Anton Imler (NRE's fearless video boater) has been hitting it hard lately and the DKayaking (www.dkayaking.net) French boys have just headed that way from the Hairy Lemon. I'm off the water with a bust up shoulder at the moment but I'll try and get some photo's of their antics - maybe the last ever ugly Sister sessions!
I'll be sure to let you know more news as we get it and let you know when it finally happens and what the other channels are like with twice the volume of water heading their way.
If you haven’t seen Ugly Sisters, it's an awesome wave - dependent on water level - twenty minutes paddle from the NRE campsite. It's the evening run, it's sick and it's about to disappear.
