GUIDE TO THE RIVER LLEDR (Blaenau Dolwyddelan to Pont y Pant) NAME OF RIVER: Lledr. WATER LEVEL, ACCESS AND HAZARD UPDATES: Here. WHERE IS IT?: Up the A470 from the Beaver Pool near Betws y coed. Head towards Bleanau Ffestiniog. PUT-INS/ TAKE-OUTS: Start at Blaenau Dolwyddelan, GR 699516. This section finishes at Pont y Pant Falls but it's highly recommended that you carry on down the following section to Beaver Pool. APPROX LENGTH: 9 km. TIME NEEDED: 2 hours? ACCESS HASSLES: Unknown. WATER LEVEL INDICATORS: Needs rain. If it's bank full it's awesome. GRADING: Mostly flat water, some IV and V. MAJOR HAZARDS/ FALLS: Some portages possibly. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The section above the Roman bridge has two good Corsican like falls on it and there is a classic drop below the Roman bridge - if the "recent " road works haven't chucked rubbish in. One or two other drops and some flat down to Pont y Pant. The best of the river is still to come, keep going. OTHER NOTES: Also...read an article about testing contact lenses on the river.
