The rivers in the waterfalls areas of pontneddfechan are running high to very high at the moment for all gorge walking and canyoning activities, .45 - .75 meters with heavy rain through out the week should mean volatile conditions for the sites close to Cardiff, Swansea, Bridgend and the Brecon Beacons. The temperature is cold though so need very good thermal protection including gloves and hoods and thick wetsuits or drysuit, need to check conditions constantly and the flow of rainfall, certain times are going to be inaccessible for gorge walking and canyoning activities.

PREDICTED 72 HOUR REPORT
As last week there is big swell and surf all over the region from Barry, Cardiff, Llantwit Major, Southerndown, Porthcawl, Aberavon, Swansea, Llanelli, its just finding the right place and the right time, winds are big as well as the swell, best areas will be the protected sites facing south or south west and on the incoming and dropping tides. Definitely need to keep checking the wind and weather reports, could be epic on some protected beaches from mainly Westerly and South Westerly winds
