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...

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.

Re: Things I see on the river during my travels.
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...

Re: Just a little stern squirt practising...................
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...

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

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...
