Summer Loving in Wales

Its been another stereotypical British summer this year. After a surprising amount of nice weather the rain finally came along.

Unfortunately I’ve been working most of the summer, so whenever the rain has come I’ve just headed to Betws-y-Coed for the good old Fairy Glen, pretty much a sure thing whenever it is wet. Obviously there is a reason for this, it has to be one of the most stunning gorges in the UK with some fantastic whitewater.

I’ve also been able to catch the Mellte a few times this summer, and finally at some half decent flows!!!

Hugh Graham has just put this funky little video together from our run the other day. Forget the Zet logos, all you need to know is the Shiva fished his ass out of that river!!!

Cheers to Dave Brown and Ieuan Belshaw for the pics from the Glen!
