There was an incident in 2021 in which there were four fatalities on the weir described on page 120. This tragedy occurred when the river was in full flood and the water levels were off the scale. The description is essentially correct (if a bit lighthearted in the light of what happened) in reasonable water levels, but the authors would underline the suggestion that the weir be inspected before setting off.

Adam (or Robson as he is more commonly known) is an experienced paddler and paddlesport coach and guide. He began his paddling career in the Scouts, where he developed an interest in both freestyle kayaking and descending whitewater rivers. His interest in canoeing started one dry summer when he borrowed an old open canoe on the River Dee at Llangollen. His curiosity turned into a passion and he purposefully set out to master the craft, exploring its intricacies and versatility. During this personal journey he has completed several solo, unsupported long-distance expeditions in the UK and Europe including Wales’ River Dee source to sea trip.

Nigel has been involved with canoeing for most of his adult life, paddling throughout the UK, mainland Europe, Canada, USA and New Zealand. Born in northwest Leicestershire, his first canoe experience was on the gentle River Soar. Not long after, he moved to Yorkshire to attend university. The enjoyment he found while paddling the rivers of the northeast firmly established canoeing as his activity of choice. In 1991 he joined the British Canoe Union’s coaching service, helping others to improve their canoeing or to become better coaches. Nigel has held various roles within the BCU including Local Coaching Organiser and English Whitewater Safety Coordinator. He is a BCU Level 5 Coach and member of Team Pyranha.
