Great report Rich, at last we were able to return to this interesting river. With regards to Kee’s misdemeanour, I think we shall nickname him as “Humphrey”.
Well done guys and girls. Great choice of river! We have now paddled the irfon, gam, conwy and alwen since scotland. Always looking for new adventures!
Great report Rich, of a river which is very under rated. Glad you managed to catch it rising at a sensible rate.
The lady and the car park situation, is that the same car park we have used in the past, up the lane right off the A5 at The Goat follow for around a mile then left before crossing the stone bridge and small car park on the right opposite a small cottage ?
In the words of Arnold, when I get a few things sorted I’ll BE BACK!!!
Correct Nigel, I think the problem was about the “Churning” up of the area before the gate into the field, there seemed to be some new “Hard” core underneath and whether this lady was concerned about the damage, I’m not sure. She was pretty adamant about us moving on and suggested the church car park prior to the turning on the right, but then said you can’t park there either. Any way all was resolved and in future we will park at the church.
Just watched Barry’s footage of the grade 3 section, we did enter from the right, rather than then left, noticing the current surge from the left as we went around the tree. Interesting to note that the small branch below was still there. It was this section which caught Nigel on the second trip.
