We’d organised Saturday’s Slightly Festive Paddle around 4 weeks ago. Around 15 paddlers met up for the paddle at TNR Outdoors<\/a>; they’ve always been great supporters of the Slightly White Water paddling group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

We expected it to be cold, but not such high levels on the Dee! As it was a mixed group of abilities, we decided to get on at Carrog and paddle down to Horseshoe Falls.\u00a0It was a nice, bouncy run down with some nice wave trains.<\/p>\n\n\n

From Horseshoe Falls, some elected to paddle the river down to Mile End Mill, and others the canal, but we all met up for a prize giving for the most festive paddlers. Go Kayaking North Wales, based at Mile End Mill in Llangollen<\/a>, kindly donated a Limited Edition Pyranha Christmas Jumper, as well as some Angry Fish Sponges<\/a> as consolation prizes. It’s great to get support for grassroots events from a canoe and kayak shop like Go Kayaking.<\/p>\n\n\n

Shellie Hughes won the jumper; she went the extra mile with a Christmas Tree Hat and a well-decorated boat.<\/p>\n\n\n

We rounded out an overall great day with a lovely meal at the m’Eating Point in Llangollen<\/a> town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
