Paul's effort to nudge me off the next rock I hit was much appreciated. He took a tumble and rolled up after bouncing off a rock. It's a good job we had such a large first aid kit, and a trained medic on scene once again.

  
   
     
   
     
   
     
   
     
   
     
   
     
   
     
   
     
   
  We found a paddle belonging to Plas Y Brenin on the river and held it to ransom for a slab of beers. A handsome reward.
