North Wales Paddle Trip
We will be heading to North Wales for our September paddle trip and will be paddling the river Dee at Llangollen. This section of the river offers a variety of paddle options, suiting everyone's needs.
Logistics for the trip are as follows
Accommodation
Option 1 - Camping
Abbey Farm for Two Nights
They have a Bar/Bistro where we can have a drink/eat they also have a café for breakfast for those not wanting to cook…
I have asked about a drying room, and they can offer a barn to drip dry our stuff.
Please place your bookings here.

For those in the "Peer Paddler" group, you will be paddling from Horseshoe Falls to Mile End Mill, where you can practice your playing boating skills to your heart's content. This section can be run twice by paddling back up the canal that runs parallel to the river.

Transport
Due to COVID19, the club cannot endorse car-sharing outside of your family bubble. Therefore, we ask you to make your travel arrangements to Llangollen, if you do decide to travel with someone outside of your family bubble. We advise that you share accommodation. We will do our best to keep you in the same paddling group for the duration of the weekend.
