I have to admit that I was also under the distinct impression that what was once dangerous (the weir) was being transformed into something "safe". I don't necessarily associate rapids with mortal danger. People call any kind of whitewater 'rapids'.
I pretty much thought that I could safely go through this new area in my raft, which is better than a Walmart raft, but not exactly military quality rubber dinghy. And I thought that I'm pretty good at keeping up on the stuff in the news. Which is why I know that nobody is advised to be on the river right now. But again, I thought that I was going to be able to raft from Bowness to Fish Creek in the dog days of summer, without getting out of the river at the weir site.
