River Spey Updates.

Hi Folks

Some urgent information for anyone thinking of paddling between Boat of
Brig and Fochabers in the next wee while...

Lower Spey Landslip

A significant landslip has occurred on the banks of the Spey. Earth
continues to fall down the 40 metres high bank and into the river. The
danger to those on the water is now deemed to be considerable, and as
such, the landowners - The Crown Estate, advise that access on the water
is not taken up to and immediately beyond the slip. The slip (NJ340574) is
situated 2km upstream from the A96 road bridge, between Ordiequish and
Burnside of Dipple Farm at the 'Intake Pool'. This is a major threat.

The SCA is liaising with the Crown Estate over this issue & will reassess
this advice next week.
