As for training most of my winter training full time was 25% Tryweryn( various places on the dee and in northwales, the team tended to hire a large bunkhouse in Llangolen looking over town falls) 25% Grandtully 50% Hpp amongst various other places.

Summer training mainly included, bratislava, Austria, Bourg stmaurice, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland.....All of which count as water that is considerably bigger in volume and standard than most in the uk.....I have paddled in more countries and on more rivers than most people can even begin imagine or dream of.

And that was just competing, not even mentioning what i did and where I went in persuit of personal kayaking fun.

Anyway off my soapbox
