You can see from the video I am using my trusted Hiko gear that is designed for white water use.  Take a look at my reviews category for all my reviews on Hiko’s gear.

I have just stumbled across a video that might be of interest to many of you. The Official opening of Lee Valley White Water Centre in Waltham Cross – Broxbourne. On this day saw many VIP guest visits the venue when it was handed over to Lee Valley park. I know this event is a little old news but the video is of great interest and really enjoyable to watch. The video is in HD if your internet can not handle this you may need to change it to standard video

The sun is out and the water is flowing thick and fast down the Lee Valley White Water centre  I am there providing water safety for both the public and competitors who are fighting for a place in the GB team and to be in with a chance to be in the London 2012 Olympics

There are 4 pumps running today pumping 18,000l of water per second and the course is proving to be very hard as we have had a few swimmers but what do you expect for the best white water course in the world. I am working on getting some videos and pictures uploaded later, until then have a good day.

Lee Valley White Water Centre has finaly opened its doors to the public on 22nd April 2011 which saw the centre open for the first time to the general public to ride the London 2012 Olympic course in white water raft,we hope that many people enjoy the centre and the rapids it has to offer.

The new venue which is situated in Waltham Cross was originally going to be called the Broxbourne White Water Canoe Centre but Lee Valley wanted to have a name that related it to them and so it was renamed Lee Valley White Water Canoe Centre.
