Update: Release confirmed for both days. Book your tickets! The National White Water centre doesn't provide water release information until a few days before the weekend unfortunately. Although, at this time of year, there is usually a release at the weekend. We'll need to keep an eye on the water information.
Planning on a 2 day trip, both days on the Tryweryn. First day upper river which is a man made course, but natural feeling with some great features. 2nd day is the lower river, still filled by the dam release but a natural river heading towards Bala. Mainly grade 3 with one grade 4- which can be portaged (Bala mill falls).
For Saturday, you need to book yourself a space on the national White water centre website here https://www.nationalwhitewatercentre.co.uk/. Go to book, then select paddler facility fee. Limited spaces available, so don't leave it until the last minute. It's £14 for the day.
Accommodation would be camping, and I'm planning to book at https://www.tyisafbala.co.uk/. Just the one night (Saturday). You'll need to book yourself. Probably find a local pub for dinner on the Saturday.
