Down to Llangollen where Andrew was competing in the first round of the BCU Youth Freestyle series. A couple of hours warming up on the Friday night and we realised that there was more water running off our foreheads than down the river Dee! Still we'd had a good play so went up to Bryn Fawr where Andy was judged to be an adult and we were stung by the Duelling Banjos inbred on the campsite; no worries, off to the pub where Andy was immediately demoted back to being a child and greatly enjoyed his shandy.
The comp took place at JJ's where there was more water evaporating than running through the features. Decidedly dodgy, the event was judged on eddyline action rather than in-the-hole moves. There was also a down-river race with the age groups battling it out before an all comers final. Great day on the river with about a hundred youngster competing and having a ball. Andy score reasonably well coming an overall 17th place (above ykw so big smiles all around).

Andrew stays in the box, top hole at JJ's
Sunday was on the Big T, three good runs on the Graveyard and lots of playing on various waves but especially on the NRA wave all in early spring sunshine. Does it get much better than this? (Answer - see what happens in May....)
