Kayaking on Llyn Brenig

A change of scene for me today - kayaking on one of the highest reservoirs in Wales! After a few logistical problems at the start of the day, my group and I managed to get a lift upto Llyn Brenig for a days kayaking. 

It's high up on the Denbigh Moors and exposed to the wind (which I guess is why it's a popular sailing place), but luckily, the winds were light and the weather pretty good. After a skills session and a lunch outside the sailing clubhouse, we went on a journey to the island. 

We hugged the coast to stay more sheltered, but when we got to the island, things looked a bit different to my last visit years ago! The 'hide and seek' woods had all been harvested!!

We got out to have a look, but the new landscape wasn't quite the same for hide and seek! Still, we were supposed to be kayaking, so it was good not to get too sidetracked. We set off back, into the wind to the club house for some capsize drills, which proved just as fun!
