100m before the triple drop slot onto rock place. Could be in trouble if the river is above 0.7 as I don't think there will be many eddies.

Mellte tree update: Anything above a 0.7/0.8 you probably wont have chance to eddy out before the tree so when the mini gorge starts with the two trees that have fallen right across (the ones you can paddle under) You should try and get out on the left asap.

Middle Tawe also has 5 new trees, 2 of them are portages.

Nedd Fechan is littered with trees, I'm not sure where to start with that one...
2/3 small drops run and the 2 20fters are clear but the rest is not.

There are many trees in the river at the moment, at five separate locations, and levels dependant they can either be limbo, dodged or need to be portaged. A couple of landslides will probably put more trees in the water with the next heavy winds and high water!

Loads of trees in the river still, most you can sneak around (or duck under!) at 0.5/0.6/0.7 levels. Many are in positions that currently don't affect but with high water they could move.

Regardless of updates, you always have to keep an eye out trees, them's the rules bro.
