Expedition Symposium

This weekend I was working at the Plas Y Brenin expedition symposium. A great event with a range of talks, workshops and lectures for people interested in expedition paddling. All disciplines of paddling were represented, white water, sea and open boat.




Really good lectures by the likes of Deb Piniger, Loel Collins and Olly Sanders provided plenty of ideas and inspiration for all those at the event.



I ran afternoon workshops on expedition boat repairs which involved people having a go at repairing a range of different boats using a vareity of materials and solutions.



It was nice to see some familiar faces and have a chat over a few beers in the bar on the Saturday night.



Cheers to Pete for organising a really good weekend.
