Hmmmm.... maybe I should have said "team members and family" Mr Laws! Say hi to the folks from us pls?

Barry

Will do, they had a great time.

Beat me to it. Amazing river, top Einion factoid, the top bit of that fall is actually an artificial wall, see if you can spot it tomorrow on the show. Felt like Hollywood when I spotted the guys from Springwatch in Aberystwyth Spar, Rock n Roll. You are so cool... I once had a beer with the boys f...

How have we got this far into the thread and not mentioned the Saracen's Heat at Symonds Yat?

I heard you all had a rubbish time... jerks.

https://vimeo.com/66423894 A little edit cut together for the Tryweryn Festival 2013. The concept is simple, produce a series of videos that celebrate the great kayaking that goes on in the A5 corridor from Holyhead to Llangollen. A truly diverse adventure awaits, from dodging sea-monsters at sunset...

My Mum. She's paddled the Nile and everything.

Not sure if that's the correct spelling. A local paddler informed us that the hole was named after a local girl, as its a sticky little hole that everyone gets stuck in sometime.

Great name.

Ah the dirty sharp lines of a prototype. :-)

On the Aberglaslyn Gorge there are (for some of us anyway) Garry's Ledge and the Temporal Focus Graduation Drop.

Is that any worse than live bait? Worst case is that the rescuer ends up swimming, which he would be if he were live baiting anyway? EDIT: that is assuming that the "dope on the rope" is actually paddling up below a drop as a rescuer, rather than running the drop. If the latter, I've no idea what's...

In your living room, sit on the floor on your bum, knees in the air, heels just off the floor (tricky to balance but try it). Try leaning back aggressively like you do in the video - what do your feet/legs do? Aha! A slight move back to weight the stern followed by sitting upright once she goes will...

It's mind bendingly hard to read but every playboater should know part of their roots (yes, I know, slalomers invented the stern dip but Jim and the chaps refined it)

Get a copy of squirt boating and beyond by Jim Snyder.

Sychnant Pass was a death trap last week with jerks driving waaay too fast in both directions.

A55 is a joke of a road.

Gorge on the Liamone?

It's been there for ages, and is below the "usual" take out. Probably passable with care. Maybe.

I know, but I'm at work so can't post a picture and the drop I've got a snap of you'd never get anyway.

Tom - I've just had another look and you're right, it's massive now! Shame Graham's boat museum must not have been finished when they were taking the photos... Try it in a darkened room with some Burial on the stereo after getting all revved up watching Breaking Bad.... it's like a horrendous zombi...

Conwy Falls Cafe have that as well.

I love the way that as you wander about the chaps are in different "Where's Wally" Style places!

GoPro have a very strict policy and dealers have to sign things to say that their goods won't end up on eBay!

Two-loos is not in the Ogwen Valley. How dare you? How VERY Dare you?!

I've spent the difference in cost on a trip to Val Sessia and another to the alps. I can live with that. Better the devil you know after all.

Samsung Ultrabook - higher spec than a macbook air and less than half the price. You do the math......s. ;-)

Amused to discover that my new ultrabook (slim laptop) will run premiere pretty much as well as my desk-top!

sandy wrote:My computer is part of the problem when using Premiere Pro - It has 8gb RAM but is still crap when editing until I've rendered the workspace - think the processor is struggling to cope. Are there anyways to speed things up?

More RAM and regular breaks to render your workspace.

I use (and love) Prem Pro, now that I've made my computer cope with editing video properly. If you are a comfortable user of PS then Prem will come. For basic editing (trimming clips, adding a basic soundtrack) then iMovie will do the trick and I've seen some awesome videos produced on Windows Movie...
