Afon Ysgir and Upper Taff Sunday 22 Oct

Two lots of Dragon Paddlers went out.

In the morning, John C. and Tim ventured out to Afon Ysgir. The water level was high medium. Tim scored one roll (or was it a swim?), the river scored a lost paddle - from John as he saw the final (lethal) weir too late (he thought) and hence tangled with a tree to save himself.

In the afternoon, Matt, Dave, Phil and Jon A. tripped on th Upper Taff at an impressivley high water level - enough to flip Matt at Abercynon weir and permit the Graveyard rapid to be taken down the centre (after bank scouting), rather than on the usual river left side. Plenty of rolling and one swim from Jon.
