March in Snowdonia

I went on a 2 day Whitewater course at Plas Y Brenin. Very snowy & cold, but they have all the gear so was ok. First day was from PYB & I paddled with Ian Cox & Loel Collins was our intructor. The other boat in our small group was two lads from Kidderminster who had paddled with Ian & Loel in canada last summer. We had great fun at Jim's Bridge, learning how to weave a route through the eddies. Only one capsize - in the first 10 minutes! On the second day the snow had fallen & Loe Hoare, one of the instructors was snowed in & so we went down the Conway from Betws Y coed. Dragging the boats across a snowy field before paddling off with the wind & rain. It was pretty special despite a Hugh rock attack that should have sunk us!
