ICCC's Fresher's Trip

It was the Imperial College Canoe Club (ICCC) fresher's trip this weekend. It got off to a bad start with one of our minibuses breaking down but luckily we had enough extra cars to shuttle everyone around.

A good level on the Saturday saw us on the Glaslyn with some comic beatings on the Gorge. This was followed up by the Llygwy from Miner's bridge.

Lots of fun was had in the hut that night with all the freshers having to take the initiation of climbing our ladder upside down.

We also managed the Lledr on the Sunday but unfortunately no pictures

Day Mission To South Wales
Rob Tuley, Joe Freeman and myself managed a day mission from South Kensington to the Brecon Beacons and were welcomed by a large amount of water, fantastic!
First stop was the Mellte which I have been wanting to do for ages, and it didn't disapoint :



After a rather futile attempt to find the Clydach gorge we went back to Ystradfellte and found the Nedd Fechan in a rather large water state:




Having lived in Wales for 18 years I always went North and had never discovered that some of the best boating in Wales is to be found South.
