It's been a long while since we have posted anything up here, so here is a little bit from this weekend. (obviously we were in Canada at the world Freestyle Championships)

North wales was the destination, and a fine grassy campsite the place. The first day saw some of a fifteen strong group heading up the mighty Snowdon. A 6 1/2 hour trek followed, taking us to the summit and back, via several ridgey things, and a dog who wanted everyones lunch. I'd like to add this may well be the longest walk I have ever been on:)




As sunday morning dawned we headed deeper into Wales to the mighty Tryweryn. It was a bit of a slalom round other paddlers but the day was generally pretty ace.




Bank holiday morning was then soon upon us after one too many real ales. A game of darts sits vividly in my memory, where a Mr Tom Potter cleaned up after five minutes and left the rest of us mere mortals floundering around trying to hit the board for the rest of the evening. Lou may have also beat us all too.




We heading for Stanley embankment for a play on the standing wave there. The wave forms under a tunnel passing from the main sea into the inland sea. The wave starts off nice and small, ideal for beginners and then gently grows as the tide rises. REMEMBER TO ADD ON AN HOUR FOR BST, we didn't and almost went home as there was no wave on arrival. No picture i'm affraid but have a look here for some info and pictures.
