Again the rivers levels are looking good, they are actually on the low side at the moment with little rain fall, but rainfall coming in tonight would mean gorge walking, canyoning and gorge scrambling sites close to Cardiff, Swansea, Neath, Porthcawl will be working very well with enough water flow but not enough to adversely effect the safety of the event. As always water is cold so wrap up accordingly.
