4 Star White Water Training Course - North Wales 6 - 7th November 2010

8 candidates arrived well prepared for this course, with lots of varied experience and very different skills. I was working with Kevin Edwards on this course,always a great pleasure as he always adds real value to the courses.

We decided to use the Llugrwy on the first day, from Pont-cy- fan to the camp, really ideal to discover your students on day 1, work on Line of sight and student basic skills. Although a little "boney" on the second run down this proved an ideal lead into day 2 .

We spent the second day on the upper Conwy, again ideal conditions and challenging for the candidates on very different water. A successful weekend, with positive outcomes for all and varied action plans for all students. Thank you to the stray paddler - David who hitched a lift and a trip with the group down the river.
