A Day On The Dee: Weirs, Waves And World Heritage

[@wildernesscanoeassociation]

I am always impressed by Ray's calm, competent surfing.

[@wildernesscanoeassociation]

The big weir really demonstrated the versatility of the canoe as a watercraft.

[@PaulKirtley]

@@wildernesscanoeassociation Indeed. It was a varied day, making the most of the craft.

[@tombeckett4340]

There’s Ray doing his thing. He knows his stuff. And the music was cool also. Thanks 🇨🇦👍

As a white water senior instructor, I've spent my life doing the Corwen to under the bridge at Lalanggolen, never seen the rest, as back then we were never allowed, but did do a run from somewhere to banger on dee, and camped, in a Canadian, was fun doing the life was great, but nice to watch you all brings back memories,, have a broken Canadian snapped at Chester weir by idiots, and an inflatable, you may have inspired me to fix it up and get out there were idiots in blue cant social distance me unless there ready to swim with a ticket book,?

Fun to see a group of boats on the water. We are iced in now, days gaining and spring will be here befor we know it.

[@PaulKirtley]

Yes, if it wasn't for the Gulf Stream, we'd be snowshoeing the river... :-)

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

I have been trying to get out on ice skates but time and weather have been messy.

[@davidmorris631]

Hi Paul, another very enjoyable video to watch and learn new things. Keep up all your hard work and effort..

[@PaulKirtley]

Thanks David. Merry Christmas.

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Thanks Paul. Quite fun. That Ray is an artist, isn't he?

[@JW-nk5hu]

Great way to make a living !!! Merry Christmas to you and yours Paul.

[@PaulKirtley]

Oh, this was just us having fun :-) Merry Christmas!

[@BrookGarretson]

Looks like a hoot!!

[@PaulKirtley]

We had fun despite the damp and cold. :-)

[@originaloutdoors]

RG's boat colour still makes my eye twitch :-)

[@nigelgregory4777]

It makes Stevie Wonders eyes twitch 😂😂😂

[@ganainm2025]

We stopped off to have a look at the aqueduct whilst traveling to Snowdonia in the summer. It's quite impressive. Seasons greeting to you Paul. I'm looking forward to more great content from you in 2017. Peace

[@PaulKirtley]

Yes, it's a significant structure alright. Those engineers certainly set their sights high back in those days. It's impressive to look at even now. Thanks for your support in 2016. Have a great festive season and keep in touch in 2017. ATB, Paul

[@randal1470]

Still trying to wrap my brain around canoeing in December! Lol! Great vid, thoroughly enjoyed that.

[@PaulKirtley]

Haha yeah. In other part of the world at the same latitude it would be pulk or toboggan :-) Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@mudwavessky3502]

hi, nice video! we did a trip starting from the field where you finished. we had a real telling off from an older 'gent' stating (quite aggressively) that launching isn't allowed from that field. We remained calm and polite but got underway anyhow after being told 'never to return'. what are your views on this? considering there is a public access sign 30 yards ish away?

[@brianspencer4220]

The small river by my house is frozen over now; glad you have open water Brian 76

[@PaulKirtley]

It does feel like a luxury. We certainly make the most of it :-)

[@modestadventurers]

Happy Turkey Day Paul.

[@unclejohnthezef]

any low-head dams over there?

[@unclejohnthezef]

3:00 !

[@Dave-pp5dy]

Nice video the music is a bit 70's adult movieish 😁

[@PaulKirtley]

I wouldn't know ;-)

[@devilineden727]

Music is crap.

[@Thorny5718]

Nice video guys, though the 70’s porn music threw me a little 😂

[@PaulKirtley]

:-)

[@Sylvanbilly]

Good video when on silent, annoying music. Sorry 😉

[@PaulKirtley]

Thanks for the feedback. ATB, Paul

[@chrisdyer6370]

Shame about the progressive jazz. Rivers sounds would be so much nicer
