HPP is not an introductory level course, the reccommended skill level is 3*. Anyone not upto this standard may find it a very wet and miserable weekend. If still interested i suggest you have a word with Pete and see what he says (providing he's going?).

I had assumed that Pete would need to hold my hand so I will check in with him on Tuesday. He did mention a Nene trip mid September so maybe thats the Baptism of fire I need before Llandysul

That sounds more appropriate! swims are much friendlier there

I have triple booked myself and I now can't get the time off work.......

Enjoy!!

Far nicer than Nottingham.

Midges should be dying out too at this time of the year.

Are you still planning the same weekend? I cannot do that one, but fancy another trip to the T soon.

No its rocky and boney. Nottingham would make a nicer swim if only the water was cleaner!

Kevin, I can't get up there on the Friday evening - is there anything closer?

Hi I'll cry off this one (probably Sea Yakking), however I can claim some experience regards swimming the tryweryn, both upper & lower, very refreshing

Have fun

Not so bad with a dry cag & wetsuit long johns!

What about tying up with Chris's River Usk race on the Sunday? What's that like?

Trywern sounds good.
When would we go up?
Accomodation? Prices?
Distance?

Times would be open for discusion, I would be game for an early oclock start sat. Camping most likely, usually about 7 quid a night.
Distance ... long, usually works out about 20 - 30 quid a head for fuel with a 4-1/2 to 5 hour drive. So your looking to leave about 5 in the morn for a decent days paddle.

Other options would be a day trip somewhere. Current forecast suggests we might get a fpre season visit to dartmoor in! Or a trip to cardiff?

Oooo that's a good shout....Cardiff.

Closer.
Cheaper on the whole I'd imagine?

Money is going to be the only issue with any trip at the mo.
I could probably afford Cardiff. But not Trywern unfortunately. $:-\$
