Had the best day on the upper, upper Tawe yesterday,

Got together a rag tag crew of uni boaters and jumped on, it was stonking, the rain eased up abit as we got on. The river is full of nice little boof drops and slides, soooooo much fun.

I did break a cardinal rule though, i was driving for twice as long as i went boating for (I live in essex, the tawe is in s.wales haha) Still made for an interesting Day mission!

 

Might chuck some of the footage from my gopro together for a wee vid, watch this space.

 

special thanks to Adam Sambrook for looking out for me haha!

How high was it? We did it in spate last year and the youtube videos weren't even comparable. I'd love to see your footage if it was as high as ours, I only remember a few bits, the rest is all an action-packed blur!

Also did you have any access issues? This has been a fun topic to follow: Tawe Hassle

We didn't have any major access issues, a guy tried to tell one of the car's that it was his river and scribbled what we can assume was their number plate on a note pad, but apart from that, nothing. we did have cars slowing down on the road to watch as we were paddling down, altough they had a job to keep up on a couple of sections. but i think they were more interested in watching us blast down than giving us any greif. 

the river wasn't in spate, but it was at a good level, it had been raining most of the morning and was still chucking it down when we got there, thankfully it let up at abit as we got on.
