Default How not to do it!

Those of you on NW3 may remember my son and his mates going past the first re-group with their kayaks, en route to the Afon Cwm LLan. This is what Jon did...













Sometimes it's better to be lucky.

2nd to last picture, absolute pure comedy

The look of 'MUMMY' then the thought of 'holy crap that was lucky' and 'how did I manage to pull that off without damage'

He was unscathed! small scratch on elbow pads and small scratch on helmet. I gave them a roasting for not wearing a full face lid - we have one in the garage for this kind of thing!

They both are. The photos were taken by his sister, who walked this particular fall I believe.

This is her on next fall (I think)



The thing is, a full face lid is the only sensible head wear on big rocky drops, but they are not popular because they are hot / heavy / uncool for the rest of the river. The Cwm LLan is just a river falling off Snowden (about a 2 miles down the valley from first photo stop on Sunday NW3) and has nothing but waterfalls on it, so no excuse not to wear a full facer. Dad will no doubt be ignored.

+1

Those waterfalls look as though they should be looked at whilst on a quiet Sunday afternoon walk with your loved one, not for chucking yourself over the edge of it in a piece of glassfibre.
Rather you than me
