I copied this from the UK Riversguidebook with regard to the full run:
WATER LEVEL INDICATORS: Looking downstream from the Burrs bridge:
No island visible: Full flood, paddle from Ramsbottom's Nuttal Park, experienced paddlers only (All features at Burrs will be washed our, bar the weir).
Island visible, water flowing in LH & RH channels, but no obvious rocks, paddle from Ramsbottom.
If you can see a line of rocks parallel to the bridge just, or nearly covered, paddling from Rammy is marginal, but would suit intermediates.
Line of rocks visible, little water in RH channel, stick to the Burrs site.
Mike, the full run does involve a grade 3 section at the start and some weirs, we have done it in fairly low water and it can be a scrape. Should be okay for Sunday probably falling into the 'If you can see a line of rocks' category. You should be okay at this level but I wouldn't recommend doing it in higher water levels.

Sorry Guys

I will explain the next time I get to Paddle whenever that may be.
