Students kayak down Leith River (+ video)

A group of students made the most of today's wet weather, kayaking down a flooded Water of Leith.

Michael Bollen and some of his flatmates took a video of themselves as they kayaked down the river, while about five laps were performed by other members in the Otago University Canoe Club.

Bollen said the group put emphasis on safety before going out.

"Safety-wise we do have heaps of stuff set up behind the scenes," he said.

"We got permission from the Campus Watch and construction sites, as well as extensively scouting the river beforehand to check there was nothing unexpected to get snagged on."
