Popular 16km K1 practice section in KZN, starting below the Albert Falls Dam wall. The Albert Falls weir just below the put-in can be shot on the extreme left. ~4km of grade 1 rapids and channels down to the Greytown bridge, then a flatter 5km, then a stretch of enjoyable grade 2 rapids. Final kilometres (Gum Trees flats) are flat.
