GUIDE TO THE AFON AERON (Ciliay Aeron to Aberaeron) NAME: Aeron. WHERE IS IT?: Aberaeron. Map. PUT-INS/ TAKE-OUTS: Put in at road bridge near Ciliay Aeron GR 500597. Take out in Aberaeron harbour. APPROX LENGTH: 9 km. TIME NEEDED: 2-3 hours. It will take a long time. ACCESS SITUATION: I've never had a problem. WATER LEVEL INDICATORS: Not really worth it when it's low, medium level is good, excellent in spate. GRADING: II-III. MAJOR HAZARDS/ FALLS: Four weirs in Aberaeron, must portages. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Nice grade II-III with some nice playspots. There are four weirs in Aberaeron which are a must-portage as the towbacks are lethal even in low water. Easily portageable down a path on the right hand bank. If the tide is low there is a fun rapid which brings you into the harbour. There is quite often good surf outside the harbour. Egress on a slipway in the harbour. NOTES: CONTRIBUTED BY: Patrick Clissold. |
