Hello,

Have always wanted to try the Battenkill around Manchester, Vt., and have
the following questions, please:

a. is it "worth it" ? Or just stick to the Deerfield ?

b. how is it in the heart of the summer, e.g., late July into Aug. ?

c. how necessary or desireable is a Guide ?

Any other thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
