Andy's tale of the Tryweryn trip

Andy's tale of the trip can be read by download the pdf file from the link below. Unfortunately, the injury he received, which we thought was a bad knock but would just lead to bruising, turned out to be more serious: torn ligaments and 6 weeks off paddling. I'm sure we all sympathise with him and hope he has a quick recovery.

Tryweryn 4-5 September

Six of us (Hywel, Andy P. and Luke, Matt, John C. and Grant) went to Tryweryn for the weekend. On both days we started on the lower section and then shuttled up to do the top section. ("We" excludes Grant here as he went on courses instead of joining the big adventure!). It was Andy and Luke's first visit to Tryweryn. A good time was had by all (but Andy's arm and thigh might not be in full agreement after his spectacular swim on the Graveyard section. Closely, followed in excitement, but not in injury terms by Luke's swims through Fedw'r Gog falls and below Chapel falls, and John C.'s after Fedw'r Gog's stopper). Well done all, and thanks for the chance to practise chase boating.
