Kayakers' 300ft dam drop attacked 


 

Extreme kayakers have been condemned for canoeing down a dam in west
Wales. 

A photographer captured the latest incident as one canoeist slid 300ft
down the spillway at Llyn Brianne reservoir in Carmarthenshire, near the
borders of Ceredigion and Powys. 

Welsh Water said the practice was dangerous and such activities were
banned at the reservoir. 

An onlooker said: "I always stop and look anyway and I saw four people
ready to do the spillway. 

"There were a lot of people watching at the top car park. 

"It looked pretty scary."

Llyn Brianne was completed in 1972 and supplies drinking water to a
large part of south Wales. 

The reservoir is up to 272 ft (83m) deep and holds more than 13 billion
gallons (60 billion litres) of water. 

A statement from Welsh Water, the owner of the site, said it "strictly
forbids" water-based activities at the reservoir and would take
"appropriate action" against anyone in breach of this restriction. 

"Reservoirs can be dangerous for various reasons and those involved in
water sports in inappropriate locations, such as at Llyn Brianne, put
themselves and others at unnecessary risk," said a spokesman. 

Richard Harvey from the Welsh Canoeing Association said he could not
comment on the group involved, the locality or the legality of their
activity but he did say he was aware the slipway had been used by
kayakers for about 20 years. 

"We encourage people to paddle responsibly and in the realm of the law,"
he said. 

"It's very important that kayaking is done at no risk to other people or
the environment and that a detailed risk assessment is made before
taking to the water. 

"Enthusiasts also have to be aware of the law and the possible legal
restrictions relating to a particular stretch of water. 

"If they go too far we do not condone it."
