Usk, 31 October

Andy kindly made the access arrangements for us to o on the Usk from Tal-y-bont to Llangyndir and then unfortunately couldn't join us: a variation on the wedding aniversary excuse was given this time, on the lines "I forgot our ...". So it was me, John C., Rob and Tim who made the trip. A step up in whitewater paddling experience for Tim whose previous high point was the Sennybridge to Aberbrân trip of a couple of years ago. The water was quite high which made for a fairly bouncy, rock free trip. Tim managed well although taking a swim at the bottom of virtually the last whitewater section. (I didn't see it because I'd abandoned the boring leadership role to get some more important surfing practice in on a wave towards the beginning of the section: sorry Tim).

Mild weather too and a pint in the Star to finish. What more could we ask for?
