    For the record the level at ddol farm was about 0.95 compared to the 1.10 we ran it on last time. Strange because it felt like it had more water on it this time! Around a metre and this river is good to go. What impressed me about this trip was all the little reminders we kept giving each other. Dont forget to breathe, keep the blade active and so on. People are making up their on minds about what line to take aswell as trusting my judgement after viewing a rapid. From a coaching perspective I would like to do another session on a short section of grade 3 and 4 water. The bottom of the glaslyn is good for this and withypool on the irfon. Keep running the same rapid, build up confidence and skill level in a safe environment.

    Great Video Geoff. For this section of river the EA gauge well upstream of Rhayader is called Pant Mawr and may give a better reflection of levels than the Ddol Farm gauge which is below Rhayader.

    Hi Tim,
