We spent that night sleeping in cars in a rustic forest with the sound of the Llugwy in spate in the distance.
The following morning we were up at half 7 and while I was still waking up Matty Nicholas and Jason Raper fired up chipshop drop. Both of them styled it!
After that we headed to the Nantygwyryd and began the steep walk in to the slides above. At this point the weather and visibility was shocking making getting decent footage pretty hard.
After that we headed down to the 'classic' section which was continuous rockslidey class 4. The one person who had done the river before forgot where the portage was so we ended up running the 'class 5+' Llys falls blind. Luckily we all got away with it and it all left us with huge smiles for several hours after!

After this we proceeded to the mighty Aberglaslyn Gorge via the Lledr ( flood levels)
Pont-y-Pant was at the most biggest scariest level I have ever seen it at-Truly spectacular so it was no wonder that a few of the boys fired it up!
Both Matty and Jason got the first part of the line perfectly but they both ended up taking a ride in a pretty big hole but managed to get out. While all this carnage was happening I was meant to be filming but instead I was getting told off by fisherman..go me!

After retrieving Rapers boat we proceeded to the Aberglaslyn which was at a sweet high level. I borrowed my friends gopro for this which can be found here:
The next day we walked into the Lower Prysor with full kit only to find it was a bit low so walked back out again. Shortly after we hit the Goedal stout..Apparently the rest of the river would have been 'unrunnable' at this level:

The last river of the weekend was to be a medium high Mawddach which we had some very good moments including 3 people in a row getting back loop just above the last drop on the Three Nasties. Jason did a quick video of the group on the top drop:
Overall a great weekend, with great company: Nice one! :)
