A Christmas Paddle of Legend!

Fisrt up it was MONSTER river levels, so much so that the 'junior' members took to a raft. Everyone enjoyed the trip and playing in the river waves. The trip went from Llanfihangel-ar-arth to Llandysul, and took about 2 hours, the river was moving really quickly which was exciting.

We had a great michelin star level meal, courtesy of Catrin and Katrina. Then a few drinks and some serious Wii sessions on the projector in the canoe centre.

On the Sunday,

A little rough, some ventured out of the centre and went on a paddle, same route as the day before. Then it happened!

Mark took a SWIM!!! Rarity only matched by the likes of a solar eclipse. On a flat section just below Llanfihangel Bridge....

Oher than Mark being slightly shook up, the trip was fine until the group got to Llandysul. At this point James decided to join Mark in his exclusive swim club.Mark, Jeremy and Nigel (M) fought to rescue but the boat was lost and turned up in Henllan.

What a weekend! Check out the pics here.

Last weekend we had one of the largest and most successful river trips the club has ever seen. We had about 16 first timers on a river trip from Llanfihangel-ar-arth to Llandysul. The trip also signifies the largest intake of girls the club has ever had. Our group was so large, we split into 3 smaller groups and travelled down as such. 

The trip started off by the bridge by Llanfihangel-ar-arth and concluded on the slalom run by the Canoe Centre. Some of the 'brave' participants experienced their first 'white water', running past the Canoe Centre. The trip was enjoyed by all and was a great deal of fun, we had a few swims which is to be expected including some 'classic ones'. Funnily, none of the swims were on swift water....

 Anyhow, great day...
