Canoeing down the weir or the warren at Hay-on-Wye

Canoe descent of the weir at the warren near Hay-on-Wye. You hear the sound of this natural weir before you see it. At low water levels the only way to descend this tiny rapid is by a fast and shallow chute on the very right of the weir. Fortunately there was enough water flowing over the weir to make a fun attempt right through the middle. The cottage on river left as well as being situated in the most idyllic location, has to have one of the most perfect views on the whole river.

Hard to imagine this same spot was in huge flood back in Feb - up to the window frames in that cottage!

Looks a good one for a swim that Andy. You were definitely enjoying the flow of things there. Mark

Defo, next time I'm gonna stop for a dip! I was more concerned with not getting capsized esp as I was carrying a bag full of camera gear!

[@MrAndyballard]

Yeah, I was rather chuffed Mandy, as when I did the same trip last year with Wol I took several dunkings ! all on fast water or rapids.
