Hi Guys, I’m now putting my adventures on the blog of my coaching company, FlowFree – however this website will remain as some people find it useful or even interesting! I hope you will continue to follow me and my stories, photos and ponderings over on the FlowFree site. Happy paddling Lowri

Back in September, the first ever Tryweryn Festival was held – one of the first events to involve almost all the UK market’s manufacturers. With loads of demo boats available, coaching sessions and loads of fun events all weekend – this promised to be an excellent event. I was there running some FlowFree coaching sessions [...]

After many happy times together, I am selling the FlowFree van – an ideal paddle-wagon… (click on the images to see full-size versions) It’s fully outfitted with proper double sofa-bed, stove, cupboards and leisure battery for all rear electrics. It’s well insulated, making it warm in the winter, cool in the summer and most external [...]

This time last year I was in Norway competing in Voss Extreme Sports Week (Extremsportveko). As the 2010 event draws to a close, my attention was drawn to this great video from last year’s event – compiled from the best of the “today’s videos”. Some of the shots are truly amazing! If you look carefully [...]

With the events of the previous week never far from my mind, I drove over some absolutely spectacular mountain passes in convoy with fellow Brit Jenny Chrimes. We made it to Ivrea in the wee hours and found ourselves driving around Ivrea city centre searching for a slalom course, with the river as our only navigational [...]

Evening all. For the past month or so I have been off swanning about the continent going paddling, rafting, competing and coaching. It’s a hard life… To make sure I don’t bore you all with too much whittering at once, I am going to split my blogging into bite-size posts of roughly a week each. [...]

I realise that it has been some time since I updated this blog. That’s partly because I have been putting most of my recent adventures on the FlowFree blog; but also because I have been too busy doing stuff to write about doing stuff! If you want executive summary: coaching, NSR, coaching, snowboarding, shenanigans, coaching, Level [...]

For the past couple of weeks we’ve had consistent rain in North Wales which has kept the rivers at lovely levels, but last night’s rain was fairly epic. All across North Wales people woke to find rivers over their banks, towns flooded and roads closed. My Mum was unable to get work and my brother [...]

I have been back in the UK for 2 months now and have been keeping myself very busy. Here’s a bit of a photo-based summary of what I’ve been up to. I arrived back just in time for Pyranhafest in the sunshine and was able to catch up with friends and compete in the fun [...]

So the World Freestyle Championships 2009 are now over; the wave, big screen, spectator stands, big air ramp and all the crowds have disappeared and I seem to be the last paddler left in Thun. There has already been awesome coverage of the event online, including live TV coverage on www.freecaster.tv and daily updates on [...]
