I've paddled it twice ,last Sunday was the second time.The level was 360 or so which is low but not scrapey.It is very similar to the upper yough in difficulty.Both are large rivers consricted into tight river beds.The Yough is a little more continous but the average rapid on the dries is a little bit steeper and tighter than than the upper yough rapids.There is one drop that is one drop that is harder than anything on the upper yough called ,Nowhere to Land, or Picket Fence, it is a big nastey drop with a trickey lead in and dubious landing zone.That said I saw several people run it with sun. with no problems, but most people walked it.Both runs are the type of runs that you can tell would be really hard at high water.The upper yough is legendary above 3' and I suspect the Pidgeon Dries will soon join it.
