Folks
I am happy to drive up to 3 others plus boats down to Talgarth for the weekend.
I am happy to leave at any time on Friday, and possibly even get a paddle in on Friday pm provided we have enough wanting to do this.

Many thanks to Nikki for organising such a good trip .

We ran the Usk on both days but with very varied sections. Saturday was the ledges from Sennybridge to Aberbran, with a small group starting from higher up after Paul French recommended this. Very nice Gd II paddle through a lovely little gorge, will do this again certainly.

On Sunday we ran the Talybont to Llangyngnir section including Mill Falls. A lowish level but with lots of other groups on the water we spent some time helping chase boats unseating their pilots.

A good trip which we all enjoyed.

Thanks Nikki for organising a fun trip.
I can say with certainty that the singing on saturday night will stay with me for life....I was moved.

We found some foreign kit when we got home

1. Leggings - probably Charlottes'
2. Palm long strap - x1

In return we lost

1. Fleece - Jeannettes
2. Short strap - Thule x 1

If anyone has/or has lost items let me know

Yours

Paul

Thank you very much Nikki for the trip and most of all the dinner on Sat night was my favourite!

I never had chilli before cos its beef hence never knew what it tastes like till Sat. I love it! :D

I have to praise you for your creativity on the menu for Sat too as you have used the left over for Sun packed lunches, tnua sweetcorn, the way forward!

See you soon.

Fiona ;)
