Hi Folks,

Anyone know of a 5 Star Assessment running in the next few months?

Any location...

Thanks.

I was fortunate enough to be at one of Phil's talks earlier in the year. Truly inspiring stuff from a great orator. A blend of frank storytelling, good humour in the worst of circumstances and an incredible journey. Get the DVD, or even better, go and see one of his talks at some point!

enjoyer: "to LEAD on grade 3 with WW kayaks you need: 4 Star WW - a leadership award" Sorry to be a pedant, but if you want to lead on grade 3 you will need 5 star. The remit of the new 4 star is leading competent paddlers (3 star ability) down grade 2 water only. If you are looking to coach on whit...

The drop on the lower prysor has a huge tree in it at the minute, which probably wouldn't be good news to swim into - but a great choice if it gets washed away. May I recommend the Einion, just North of Aberystwyth. Couple of pretty amazing drops. Not too far from Wiltshire, short walk in too. The s...

Liquid Logic Space Cadet for sale. I've had it for just over 3 years, and it's served me well. It has extra (liquid logic) bolt in hip pads that I have added to make it more comfy. Feel free to message me with any questions. Can be picked from Aberdovey, Gwynedd, or I am regularly at the tryweryn/ N...

did you phone from a mobile Boom? I tried phoning a while ago from a mobile, and no answer after ten attempts or so, as soon as I tried from a landline, it was answered immediately.

yeah no probs, im at work til late, but ill try and fix some up tonight.

Hi guys, Plas y Brenin were offering a L3 core training back in march. Annoyingly, I was the only person to book on??? However, they have said that they will put a course on to specified dates if i can get two others interested. I'm looking at the last week of August or first week of September if an...

Pretty apalling at the South end of the park! Unless we get 15-20mm rain before saturday, won't be worth doing anything near Dolgellau.

Having just noticed my local run (an absolute gem at the grade!) is not included in the UKRGB guide, I thought I'd start this thread for people to list any rivers which are missing from the North Wales section, and possibly put some material together to rectify this. I'll begin: Afon Dulas (Corris) ...

Finally, a Level 3 training is avaliable! PYB are running a UKCC Level 3 Core training course in March. Thought i'd book onto this, but it seems that no one else has, perhaps due to a lack of advertising. Please book yourself a place if you're interested, so that the course can go ahead! Until the 1...

Mellte?

A medium surely would be the best option? As with any new purchase try it out first, and see what feels comfortable.

might be able to help you with a hoss here, a mate trashed his on the conwy a few weeks ago. hes in scotland at the minute, so might take a while to contact him, but ill see what i can do.

Ian.

Hmmm, plenty of food for thought, thank you! I think the best option has to be to head to my nearest shop and try both. Having heard no watershed horror stories, I think I'm swaying towards this initially, possibly combined with a padded exped drybag for the camera inside the watershed? Many thanks,...

Cheers guys, I'm interested to hear what adrian has heard in the way of horror stories about peli cases? I think the problem with the 1200 will be the height (only 110mm) as the camera body is 108mm, which is going to be super tight/not provide any impact absorption.

Hi, I've managed to get through a whole year of rivers without taking my camera on the river, which is a total shame. I've been too worried about it getting destroyed should I swim etc. Feeling a little more confident/arrogant (depending on who you talk to) about not swimming these days, so I think ...

Is that from the top put in or from Coed y Brenin Park?

from the put in at pont y grible

river is totally tree choked for about 2km after Pont y Grible, a good alternative get on, is just after the fish weir/metal strainer, after the ford at grid SH711290, as the river is clear of trees after this point, and made up for an agonising 2 hours of praying and portaging.

enjoy, Ian.

paddled the eden sunday. absolute tree-fest for 2km from the suggested get in, and numerous portages for gnarly fences etc. get in at grid SH 711290, just downstream of a metal strainer, if you don't fancy two hours of hell! needs a lot of water though, as the river bed is very wide, an the catchmen...

see lost and found section! if you find any kit on the river!

cheers.

Lost an orange and white pyranha burn (M) with drybag containing phone etc in.
Lost a Robson Oracle paddle, white blades

Lost on the Wnion on 3rd September 09, could be pinned from brithdir down to Dolgellau, or could have been flushed out into the Mawddach estuary.

cheers guys.
