Thank you, glad you found it useful. I'm not sure about the pamphlet, the link was directly from the Go Paddling website which didn't show anything about a physical one!
I'm glad people are finding this useful for planning their own trips! Because we went with Kenny's taxi, we launched a bit further upstream where he has an agreement. I believe the Glas-y-Bont Common launch area is controlled by the council, which allows launching between 1000 and 1600. But I don't know if this has changed, sorry, would be interested to find out!
I had a years experience prior to this trip. When we did our length of the Thames trip a year before this I had only been in a kayak a handful of times too. Just need a healthy respect for the water and build as you go!
A friend and I just did Whitney on Wye to Hereford over two days in my inflatable boat. We had only been on the water once previously and we made it! The little rapids come thick and fast in low water levels so you quickly learn how to pick the best route through them.
