Exhausted! I have just spent 8 hours in the company of Chris Rogers and survived! I should get a t-shirt or a certificated or something. A mad, never stops talking, gag a minute, car breaking, crazy Welshman. I need to lye down!
Today we were up a 6am for an early start, heavy rain in the Brecons Friday night got us excited but when we got to the Neddfecken, the river barely had any water in it. The waterfalls were running but the pools at the top are pretty shallow, plus it was riddled with trees. We had to scrap it and decided to hit Cardiff.
Chaos as usual with people swimming, rafts all over the place and a standard release of 8 cumecs. We may have been better off with 4 foot surf of Swansea, but that is getting a bit desperate.
I was kept entertained by Rogers getting a pounding in the holes. 'Get the camera out,' he said 'you bloody brought it didn't you!'. As soon as I hit the recorded button, 3 swims off the bat, brilliant. 'It was the bloody camera's fault'. Whatever man - the kit doesn't make the paddler. We stopped in Morrison for fruit pastels on the way home.
Peace,
Dan
