What a brilliant weekend on the Tryweryn with the crew from !

​I've been fortunate enough to spend time with a few of their members now, and it’s fantastic to see such genuine stoke for canoeing. The team absolutely smashed it on the Tryweryn this weekend, proving that trad is officially rad! 🤘

​Massive thanks and a huge well done to the whole team. It was a pleasure guiding and supporting you all alongside Matt Haydock.
