 | Hurley Weir | Hurley Weir is a weir on the River Thames at Hurley in the English county of Berkshire, not far from Marlow, Buckinghamshire and just downstream from Henley-on-Thames.
Hurley is the centre of a very active freestyle kayaking scene in the South-east of England, because of the favourable size and shape of the wave at Hurley Weir. A standing wave is generated by the gates (those which are opened) in the middle of on the weir. This attracts kayakers from a considerable distance. Hurley also hosts an annual rodeo competition, the Hurley Classic. (more...) | April |

 | Vyrnwy | The River Vyrnwy (Afon Efyrnwy) flows from the bottom (and occasionally over the top) of a large Victorian stone dam, the first of it's kind in the world. The upper Vyrnwy from the Dam down to Dolanog is a good Grade III whitewater river, with plenty of exciting features. In contrast, the lower Vyrynwy from Pontobert down to where it joins the Severn, at Melverley, is a gentle Grade I to II which is highly recommended as a touring trip. The lower Vyrnwy forms part of the English-Welsh border between Powys and Shropshire.(more...) | February |
 | Tryweryn | The Afon Tryweryn is the best of the small handful of rivers in Gwynedd, Wales that are dam released and offers 8km of classic Grade II-IV whitewater. The dam releases are dependent on a number of factors including rainfall, local river levels and extraction needs, however, on average, the Tryweryn enjoys over 200 days of water a year, which makes it a popular destination for boaters across the country.
