Gwilym's Adventure Blog

At early o'clock I walked out to have a look to see if Torpantau was frozen with my cousin Will. Sadly it wasn't but we still had a nice little walk through some deep snow drifts on the way out and back. There was ice on the edges but the main pitch was still flowing. I reckon it needs at least another day of sub zero to form but the sun was hitting it full on as we left so to much damage may get done today. Anyway, we then headed to a much warmer Penalta for a couple of lovely rock routes.

Today I was at the Mellte and Sychryd gorges in South Wales undertaking some risk assessments for future use. I wasn't in the water today, I was bank based but need to go back and get in to finish the process fully. After the practical bit, I attended a workshop run by SWOAPG on the safe use and environmental care of these gorges. Now I have to drive back up to North Wales for the morning, to finish the ML course I am directing for Wet and High Adventures.
