Just a repition of what i said in the other topic, didnt realise there was a poll
Tryweryn:
FOR:
-Faster water
-many sites (variety)
-more drops
-good for playboating aswell
-good, fast eddies
-original
AGAINST:
-Rocky
-Tends to rain
-Occasionally too many rafts when training
Nottingham
FOR:
-Well presented site (stands, the board, bridge, path etc..)
-good for spectators
-generally nice course to paddle
-good changing rooms
-good parking
-good for recirculations sessions (can paddle bk up easily)
-good warm-up lake
-camping+ good white water center for accomodation
-all motorway to get there, no small windy roads (depends where u live though)
AGAINST:
-poluted water
-'iffy',boily eddies
-slimy maggot banks (it's true, we have seen it)
-short course (compared to Tryweryn)
-not as much white water
-less playboating waves/stoppers
-the odd dodgy raft guide
-tend to find dead cows in eddies (not too often tho)
-often too windy
-occasionally too many playboaters when training
They are both really different types of sites anyway, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Personally i prefer Tryweryn mainly because of the variety, but nottingham is a really nice course aswell.
Anyone got anything else to add?

p.s jimi your arguements are personal I.e the price on trywryn and the distance- I get on Tryweryn for free and its the same distance as nottingham practically.

I love Tully wen its high, especially the big waves in the middle, they rock! But it can get kinda borin at the bottom wen its low and i also put a huge hole in the bottom of my boat at easter. But theres a reason for that which i wont go into but it was my own stupid fault.
Anyways tully is generaly a gud place!

i dunno town falls is a bit boring. i only been there last time once and it wasnt that good,
not as good as everyone said at least.
i thort it was a bit poor you couldnt see the top half of the course properly til you were on teh water....
prob jus me bein lazy tho.
i also thort town falls was annoying cos i couldnt find anyone in the town...
but i am really annoying and picky.
i still liked it tho jus not as much....
i will prob love it when i go there when its not so shallow

Washburn is a nice course. Is it me or do people get more tired walking back up to the top than they do paddling down it???or is it just my lazy, fat a** nothing being fit enough????
Tully is another strong fav, only problem is not being able to watch people paddle as closly as you can at the GREAT NOTTS!!!!!!
