Today, 5 keen kayakers with one kayak support and 2 kayak support dogs met for a peer paddle and confidence-building session on the mighty Upper Tryweryn.

I call it the “T” because I can neither spell or pronounce the correct name. Sorry Wales.

With sunny intervals but with more sun than intervals, we all had a great time catching eddies, surfing and rescuing other groups’ boats.

It was good to see so many familiar faces out on the water.

We all managed 2 runs before the cake from the cafe was calling.

A great day was had by all and we definitely had a confidence boost ready for the summer (hopefully) season ahead.

I’m crossing my fingers I can pack away the drysuit soon.

Thanks Steve, for instigating and thanks Chris for coordinating.
