River Dee at Llangollen: Long Term Canoe Leader training with Mountain Water Expeditions. River training. River was low and fast with more rocks showing and channeling flow at higher speeds. Worked on crossing water through rapids with smooth boat control and efficient energy expenditure. Worked on route planning through rapids and boat control over rapids. Moving from eddy to eddy to set up approach to next rapids. Worked on water rescue techniques, including self rescues and safe water crossings with a group. Clear hot day. The water rescue exercises were welcome change from the suddenly hot weather.
