Report for Tryweryn Saturday January 12th

[Tim]

Its 9.00am , outside temperature 2 degrees and with a sprinkle of snow Tim, Bush, Mark, Keelan, Dave and Kyle style the section above the chipper and do a complete run of the upper, no probs. With big smiles we sort the shuttle out for the lower run and are joined for the paddle by Geoff and a chap called Connor who described himself as a paddle tart! It turns out he rescued Marks boat on the Conwy last year. Geoff cruised the Lower T. I didnt see a single high brace from him. Dave did a fancy spin halfway down Bala Mill falls which impressed everyone. A good day that ran really smoothly. Cheers Timbob.

Nice one Tim, Glad you had a good day and Keelan ran the Upper. Well done Geoff on running the lower which is strewn with trip hazards ! Too cold and too early a start for me, ended up putting up shelves in the launderette not quite so much fun.
No Scott or Nigel?

Hi All,
Glad you hade a fun day, the footage looks great Geoff, Well done to Keelan I know he had some reservations about tackling the Upper, looked like you nailed it to me Kee, Nice one.
My apologies to all for not attending I was up at 06-15am with the intention of taking some photo’s of the upper and you guy’s, I woke with a stinking headache and sore throat, took some pills and set off, I got to Dobbies around 09-00am and felt worse had a hot drink and some more pills, then had a snooze for 20 min’s , it was at this stage I decided it was not wise to attempt to paddle feeling so unwell, so headed home. I am really sorry Guy’s and on a personal note I am really GUTTED to have missed the trip.
Cheers 🙁

Hangover…..!

[Nigel]

I wish Geoff, wouldn’t have missed it for a hangover trust me !
I am to old to suffer from hangovers now anyway.
Glad, you managed a great run without fault, superb.

Well done guys! What level was it on? It looked higher than the usual 9.

Nige…..get better and stop drinking!

See you all at the weekend?

[Tim]

The footage has been really useful for me to look at. I worked really hard yesterday at leaning forward. I’ve been getting into a bad habit of leaning back in the kayak, but having looked at Geoff’s video it appears I’ve sorted the problem out. It’s also nice to see a video where I’m not having to roll! Happy Tim!

[Geoff]
