Tryweryn trip April 2007
After an early start we loaded "Tamzin" the Transit and headed in a North Wales direction.
4 hours later we pulled into the Tryweryn centre car park, greeted by hundreds of kayak laden cars and perfect sunshine. We headed up to the top car park and put in above the chipper to warm up we surfed the top wave, broken in and out, boofed a river wide stopper and got in the way of a white-water safety course and were promptly told to get off the river and put on a bit lower down. |

Wye and Usk Tour Dec 2004
The first 'Nutty Tour' of the season kicked off at The Eyot Centre, Henley, at silly o'clock on Saturday December 2004. We awoke the larks whilst packing the kit for this latest Eyot exped - to paddle the Rivers Wye and Usk in South Wales.
We eventually arrived in the car park at Builth Wells after a very foggy journey from Henley. We unloaded the kit and shuttled the vehicles. Surprisingly, no one had forgotten any kit - there's a first time for everything! The Wye was very low, but high enough to paddle.

After booking into the excellent 'Bala Backpackers on the Saturday, they headed for the Welsh National Watersports Centre at Canolfan Trywerwyn, where they prepared for the descent of the river and received their safety briefing

Dry start to the Nutty Winter Tours. The first white water visit of Autumn 2003 to South Wales turned out to be more brackish. An early start on Saturday saw the dawn break over the Severn Bridge for Kevin, Keith, Jessica. Wayne was only a short way behind. Yes the clocks had gone back and Wayne time had caught up GMT.
Wales looked decidedly dry. The usually lush green Valleys were still baked dry. Fields looked more hay-like. We pressed on anyway and reached Brecon in time for a hearty Welsh Fry up.
By 10.30am we were on our way to the start at Sennybridge. We parked up and changed outside the gates of the army camp. Five contractor's vehicles came out as we were about to move off. Each driver wound down the window and expressed some surprise at our enterprise. "More water in my cup of tea Ha Ha! "Need your walking today lads Ha Ha Ha! "Got any wheels with you isn'it boyo? Ha Ha Ha Ha! ...and so on.
