White Water Trip

Coach/Leader: Grant McKelvie & Steve Thomas

Grant & Steve are leading a Club Trip on G2/3 water on the Lower Treweryn in Bala on Sun 23 June. This trip is a step up from Jackfield and Mile End Mill / Serpents Tail, on the most fabulous stretch of N Wales water. If you are unsure if this trip is for you, please give me a shout.

It is Dam Release, so will only go ahead if a release is confirmed, usually in the week prior. Likely relocate to Dee if not. Likely we will meet at 09:00 for Breakfast at Manon's Cafe at the WW centre, but paddle meet will be 10.00 at the WW Centre. 

For more experienced paddlers there should be an opportunity to PEER PADDLE on the Upper Treweryn in the afternoon after finishing the Lower. Or Peer Paddlers can just play on the Upper and some of us will join you in the afternoon. Don’t book onto the event in this case - just let me know.

All paddlers will need to BOOK INTO the white water centre here:

TREWERYN BOOKING

Paddlers should be happy paddling in a straight(ish) line, getting into and out of eddies, and comfortable with a wet exit. 

10 Club Paddle led places. More led places may be available if additional leaders can make it - put yourself on the waiting list if the event is full so we can gauge demand.

Required kit of WW boat, air bags, paddle, spray deck, helmet and buoyancy aid. Club kit available to hire, payable at booking. The boat booking must also be made here:

Hire Your Boat Here

Attendees must arrange own transport of boat to location, which can be collected on a Monday evening at Frankwell, and returned prior to the next Mon evening. Or give Grant a call on 07837 963160 to arrange alternative boat pick up.

Please bring non-cotton clothes for paddling in, footwear for paddling in (essential), water proof jacket and warm change of clothes. Lunch and snacks also.
