Trweryn Trip

Download as iCal file
 
From Friday 25 April 2014
To Sunday 27 April 2014
     

To open up white water trips to paddlers that may not have the skills but would like to progress.

We are happy to invite adults to tag along and experience North Wales at its best.

Should we paddle the Dee On Friday, the section most used has two grade 3 features which are easily portaged.

The remaining sections are excellent for new paddlers providing river levels are not to high.

Saturday and Sunday, we will be on the Tryweryn.

The Upper section of river is pretty full on for the most part and features do require a higher degree of confidence and skill

The Lower part is less demanding and an outstanding river section to learn on.

The lower section finishes with a grade 4 feature but again this is easily portaged.

For all aspiring white water paddlers we are happy for you to attend.

The requirements are you need suitable paddling kit and be happy  following instruction for your own safety.

Probably paddling the Dee on Friday and then the Trweryn, although the Conwy and Lugwy are also in the frame, depending on levels.

Please contact Paul Hignall, [email protected], for more details

Disclaimer: all our trips are run by club members like you, and unless specifically described otherwise are peer paddles.  If you think that you would benefit from the support of a formal river leader or coach, please contact the trip organiser in advance - we can usually arrange something!  Otherwise you should be confident that your own ability matches the trip as planned.  If your trip is being led by someone - a more experienced paddler, river leader or a coach - it is your responsibility to mention any medical or other issues which may arise during the trip.
