12th July – 14th July 2024 – North Wales
For our winter trips in north Wales (usually November and February) we’ll be based in Snowdonia. When the rivers are running we’re spoilt for choice with grade 3/4 classics such the Conwy, Ogmore, Mawdacch, Aberglaslyn gorge and Wnion within easy reach, as well as good beginner options such as the Llugwy and Upper Glaslyn. When the levels are low, and typically in the summer we’ll often paddle the Tryweryn and Dee.
Accommodation
For this trip, we’ll be staying at the Ty Isaf Campsite. This super friendly campsite is 5 minutes outside Bala – so ideal for the Tryweryn. The campsite owners are very welcoming and allow open fires on the site. They also sell logs, kindling, firelighters and locally sourced meat too.
Experience needed
2 star/British Canoeing Paddle Explore Aware or equivalent standard. Neither previous whitewater experience nor a roll are necessary.
