Kayak coaching & guiding in the UK and abroad.
The pool where the Fairy Glen meets the Lledr is frozen over with a good few inches of snow atop, as is Beaver Pool. So, anyone for a run on the Glen?

No Canoeing: I think on this occasion I’ll take heed
For more photos of our wintery wonderland, including monster tracks over Beaver Pool, take a look at our Facebook page. Do you have any winter paddling pics? We’d love to see them – just add them to our Facebook page.
As I am sure you noticed, the past few weeks have been rather cold in the UK. Here in North Wales was certainly no exception as the snow fell and the rivers and lakes froze over; we swapped our kayaks for snowboards, skiis and winter boots. Here’s a few photos of popular North Wales rivers – can you spot a line?!

It has been a winter of extreme weather… back in November / December we had floods of epic proportions. Here’s some more North Wales classics, in less-than-classic conditions:

Now that things have thawed out, we’ve been back on the rivers enjoying the best of North Wales with runs of the Ogwen, Conwy and Nantygwryd (we’d hoped to paddle from the top of the Nantygwryd to our house in Llanrwst but the lakes by Plas-Y-Brenin were still frozen!).
If you are feeling a bit rusty after the chilly Christmas break, why not brush up your skills with one of our skills courses? We’ve just added plenty more dates to take us up to the summer. Also – check out our new google course calendar!
See you on the water…
