Drops and slides

Written by  David Jones and published in Trip Reports

So what do you do when there isn't any water and you just happen to be in North Wales?  Go in search of stupid runs of course! Why wouldn't you?!

Well, back in the depths of Winter (you remember: absolutely no water, ice everywhere and yes, you guessed it - chuffing cold!), a large group of young and old (sorry, experienced and not-so-experienced!) set off in search of 'some' moving water.  Most people were going for the coaching courses being run by FlowFree (do you have shares in them Chris, or are you really that besotted?!?), some were there to do their own thing and a likely trio were looking for something different.

Sitting around the bunkhouse table with Dave Fairweather (our guide for the day), we explained what we were looking for...  Chris: Erm... I want something bigger; Monkey Boy (aka Craig): Yeah, yeah, I want some big stuff with some drops; Me: Well... erm... I'll just go and change my trousers...they've gone a bit brown!  So that was decided then...drops and slides it would be but I had no idea what that actually meant (it'll be OK, Wales doesn't have any Victoria Falls like drops and there's no water anyway so things can't get that big...can they?).
