“ I certainly had to do some training as I haven’t done very much kayaking before. I tried to get myself as fit as possible and went to Glan Llyn a few times and trained on Tegid Lake.”
“ The longest I had kayaked in training was 11.5 k so to complete 33 miles was certainly a challenge!”
“ We set off at 6.30am on Saturday morning June 18th and with only one stop at Tonfanau we arrived at Aberdyfi on a beautiful evening , with blue skies and sparkling water, at 8.pm.”
“ I really enjoyed the whole experience and it was wonderful to see near the finish that Aberdyfi Rowing Club  had come out on the estuary to meet us and escorted us on the last leg into Aberdyfi. “
“To have a crew from Aberdyfi Rowing Club  rowing along beside us and to see my support group waiting at the  beach was just overwhelming.”
“I have had great help and encouragement right from the start.  My fellow kayakers on the challenge were Luned Evans, Iwan Williams and Cellan Lewis so I want to say a massive thankyou to them.
Also I couldn’t have managed without Gwasanaeth awyr agored Urdd, who were involved with planning and co-ordinating my challenge.”
 “A special thanks for all the support from Bryncrug Young Farmers Club & codespromoweb.com, and of course from all my friends and family.”
