Throwback to a fantastic day kayaking the Upper Glaslyn with Dom and Jess.© I was first supposed to run this river earlier this year with Andy. But when I came to inspect it in the morning, I realised it had gone from high to huge, and from huge to mega. Andy couldn’t get to the put in due to flooding. Probably just as well.’ Having almost managed to catch it once, I was eager to find an opportunity to do it – so when Jess and Dom were eager and it was on a low with sunshine in the sky, we had a pootle down. •
I had a cambridge-style roll (a punt) at the boulders into Beddgelert and we played “wave merrily at the tourists” who lined the river banks. It was such a jolly little River we decided to go back up for round two. One of my happiest achievements has been building up my skills to become enough of a beginnery-intermediate paddler to comfortably pick off objectives like this has enjoy this sort of pleasant day on the river!
