Sorry cannot help on the frying pan or madeira cake mysteries.
I just wanted to thank Nikki for organising such a good weekend. The Group leaders for looking after everyone on the water, and the drivers for transport and shuttles.
I think there was something for everyone with paddling 2 very different rivers at good levels, and such good company.
The Afon Twyi (or River Towy if you prefer the anglicised version) was a little gem which I would love to do again.
Many thanks
Andy
