Cliff, Stu and Jezz along with Ann woke up at 5:30 on Saturday morning to drive to Wales. Arriving at our destination at 8:40 we meet up with Garry, Geoff, Kenny and others and then we put in at Sennybridge; more up-stream than last year. The total number in the group was 13 so we decided to split into two groups Jezz and Stu going in the probe group to scout the Falls before the second group, containing Cliff and Garry. The first two falls were negotiated without problem from either of the groups. However on the third falls, the hardest of the three, there was more action. Everyone was running river left and all except Simon made it over without drama. The tow back was not long but it was strong and Simon was unlucky enough to be dragged into the main stopper where he swam. This is caught on video are several others who ran the falls. After the falls it was a straigtforward paddle down stream for lunch. After lunch a stretch which last year took all day only took an hour and a half due to lower water. There were a few small features and no drama. The group was off the water by 1:30 when the heavens opened for the first time that day. (Typical Wales)
