Weekend Warrioring

Totally by chance 2 days of boating coincided with Saturday and Sunday.

The Mellte get off, in lovely hot sun

Saturday started far too early in South Wales with Cheesy and Rosie. The Nedd Fechan is very jolly, and caused much hilarity, a short video - Click

After that, with levels dropping off, and the sun coming out the Mellte called to us, more fun video here - Click

The dark woods, Gandalf not pictured.

Sunday was wet, very wet. The Upper dart was honking along nicely at lunch time, a bit much for our group, so we ran a few little run gems further up the valley. Word on the street is that you shouldn’t paddle them, because it will ruin the access “agreement” on the Upper. If there is a good level in them, they are excellent. Show some responsibility and paddle these rivers high.

Having cruised down the lovely East and West, the upper had almost reached a nice cruisy level, so a few of us carried on down. Frankly excellent. There is a short video from that, as yet un-up-loaded.

What a cracking weekend. Next weekend I’m putting to sea, weather permitting.
