Canoeing on Llyn Gwynant

Today was the kind of day where working as an educator in the great outdoors is a pure pleasure. Blue skies, light winds, high temperatures and a psyched group all came together to give a fantastic day of open canoeing on Llyn Gwynant.


It's a bit of a faff getting a trainer of boats down to the lake, but once on the water, in these conditions it was all good, relaxed fun. We explored up the river, out across the lake and finished with some good old fashioned jumping off big rocks into the deep waters. The water even felt wam enough to be pleasantly refreshing rather than the usual freezing. 
Lots of laughter, team work, discussion and enjoyment of such a beautiful place. All the sorts of things that Outdoor Education should encompass.
