Tryweryn Trip

 Download as iCal file
 
From Friday 29 April 2016
To Monday 02 May 2016
      

There will be a club trip to the Tryweryn for the first May bank holiday weekend. For those of you who don't know, the Tryweryn is a dam release river in North Wales. The upper section is grade 3/4 and the lower section is mostly grade 2 with some grade 3 and one very easily portagable grade 4. The lower Tryweryn is a great section for paddlers with a little moving water experience. 

Please let me know if you would like to join us and I will try and book Tyn Cornel campsite for the weekend. Tyn Cornel is very convenient for the river. It can still be quite cold at night in May, so make sure that you have warm bedding.
 
For those of you who need someone with you on the water, Bill and I will be happy to take you on the lower section for a run down each day. The timing will depend on when we are able to run a shuttle with the cars. We will be able to work on river running skills and enjoying the river. You will then have the remainder of the day to watch the other paddlers (there is a footpath alongside the upper section) or to go off and enjoy the Welsh countryside. It's important to make sure that everyone has some time to paddle at their own level. 
Location Tyn Y Cornel, Bala LL23 7NU

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.
