Taff, Saturday 19 February 2011




This trip was arranged by Amber to count towards her GCSE. It attracted a large turnout. As far as I remember (and me writing it up on 29 May!) there was Andy R, Matt, John O', Emlyn, Steve White and friend, Nick B, Rhys, Jon and Lewis, Chris and David, me (Hywel) and many others! (Let me know if you were there and I've left you out). The water was at too high a level really and the river was largely washed out. We split in two groups and only the second went over Radyr weir. Nick B led us over nearly in the centre. Shortly afterwards, John O' capsized and I rescued him. Later on, many practised safe swimming, coming under a bridge and having throwlines aimed at them. Most survived as far as I could tell. A well arranged and enjoyable trip.
