North Wales in January...No Water? No Problem!

So we arrived back on Saturday from another epic trip to Wales! Yes it is January, yes it was cold, no there wasn't very much water and yes, despite all the above it was still great craic! We made the most of the water that was there with some great days on the Dee and the Tryweren, took a day on an easier river to chill out and enjoy the scenery and towards the end of the week when lots of tired bodies were feeling the effects of paddling for several days a row we went hiking on Mount Snowdon! With darkness coming unfortunatly early in North Wales in winter there was also plenty of time left over for a bit of banter in Jesse James' awesome little bunkhouse in the evenings!

Lots of people learned a whole lot over there, which is the focus of a more detailed write up I'm doing. It may or may not be appearing here...if you're interested in finding out more then I would keep a close eye on Irish kayaking publications in the near future! In the meantime, here's a video Diarmuid Moloney put together of the trip: ULKC Wales trip 2015 on THE Dee.
