A real struggle to get this off the ground, despite lots of advertising. Whata contrast a day makes, especially in Wales and the river Usk.We all set off from Bristol on the Saturday expecting monstorious levels , having watched the Ryder Cup and weather forecast. After a quick check on the Wye-Usk Cams we decided to head off and have a look.
Great conditions for day 1, with the levels just at the gauge ensuring sufficient water for the more practical elements of day 1. Some interesting aggressive swimming to be done.
Day 2 began much the same as day 1, although how differently things can change. Although the levels were a pushy grade 3 on the upper Usk, it was decided through some miss judgement that we would abort the wet sessions and boat Chase to Brecon and beyond for the day. All good stuff and a real time situation.
Eventually re grouping thanks to a Turkish Market Man, and an offer of £20 to take me back to Aberbran Bridge to meet most off the group.
Successful outcomes all round, all safe and lots to think about. C.L.A.P.Thanks to Brendan for making the team up for day 2.At least you got a paddle in mate.
