The Bitches is a tidal race in South Wales and is formed by a volcanic reef protruding from the sea bed. When the tide starts to rise water is held back behind the reef and eventually flows over and around it causing a set of rapids about 700 meters wide. This short film depicts a week spent at the rapid by 8 junior kayakers with Watermark Experiences.

River a Week, #10 WINion and The Fairy Glen from Liam Chambers on Vimeo.

This video is proof that one can work 9-5:30pm and stil get great boating done in between work. 7:30pm on the way to the Wnion, Level was around 2.2 on the guage which meant is was super fun and interesting, And my first run down the Fairy Glen on the Conwy. Wasn’t my best performance, but hey had to be in work for 9:00am in Liverpool. Also part of my river a week project.

Thanks to Andy Butler for some footage (my GoPro broke) and paddling the rest of the Glen for me when I ran out of time.
