A few more Lyon Videos

Here are 3 short videos just to illustrate that although this is a really beautiful river, as demonstrated by previous photographs, it can also be a very powerful and scary one. These three videos were taken by Richard Turner (Biscuit) who along with Neil Wardman (Nelly) surveyed the length of the Lyon for us in a canoe. As well as allowing us to do this faster than walking, it also allowed us to get some good footage from the middle of the river.In December 2006, there was a massive flood on the Lyon which caused a great deal of damage, and contributed to a particularly bad flood in Aberfeldy. This is one of the few stretches of the Lyon which is near to the main glen road, and the damage is very evident. This stretch of the main road will obviously be vulnerable to future flooding damage as well, bit of an issue for the council perhaps if the main road to the glen gets cut off!! A considerable amount of manpower was expended putting this right again. Erosion took place right up to the edge and underneath the tarmac.
