Re: Upper Treweryn Advice Please?
Hi Cliff.
Relax and have faith in your positive strokes, enjoyment is the name of the game. Lets say If there is a swim.. great cool down! its all good with the right crew.
Run a few times, then build up on the eddies you want to make.
Its all good! Happy paddling :)

Taking my 13yr old son on his first grade II trip on the Usk.
After a bad capsize one summer he wasnt that keen... then after the first rapid he could not stop smiling and even laughing when he caught an edge. Fantastic day, in my memories forever...and his!

Hi All
I will have to say the discount culture shocked me and didnt impress the bank with sales figures.
Why do paddlers expect a large discount on a boat? as if the retailer didnt need to earn a living?
