Wales is probably one of the best kayaking destinations in the UK when the conditions are right. We struck gold a week ago and bagged the infamous Betws y Coed triple crown, the Llugwy, Lledr and Fairy Glen. Here’s NRS team member and local Barny Prees showing it pays to have these runs as his daily training ground.

After a lovely holiday it was back to work today at PYB.  Working with a family of 4 for the week delivering a range of activities.  Today we decided on kayaking given the wet weather.  We started in the morning learning some skills of flat water with a journey around the lake.  In the afternoon they were up for more of a challenge.  We started playing in a jet of water learning skills such as breaking in/out, ferry gliding, reading water, etc.  Once they had a grip on these skills we carried on down the river Llugwy to Jim's bridge.  This offers lots of interesting water finishing with a great grade 2 rapid at Jim's Bridge.  They all did very well picking up the skills quickly and having fun.
