	Mawddach hydrology
		Rainfall distribution across the Mawddach catchment recorded at 22 raingauges does not correlate well with ground elevation, suggesting instead that maximum precipitation is generated at valley heads where maximum uplift occurs.
		It is suggested that air masses approaching from the west are deflected around the mountain mass of the Rhinogs and funnelled along the estuaries of the Dwyryd at Porthmadog in the north, and the Mawddach at Dolgellau in the south.
		The Afon Wen sub-catchment, in common with the remainder of the Mawddach basin, has been extensively glaciated and exhibits thick sequences of glacial and periglacial valley infill.

		This trip runs into the lower Mawddach (this begins when the Eden confluence is reached) and although you can stop here, it's recommended to run the first couple of kilometres down to a good takeout bridge and carpark, GR 730234.
		The portage is a track down the river right bank, launching near to the confluence of the excellent Afon Gain.
		The Afon Gain tributary is well worth doing also if you have time...this means paddling the lower half of this trip again as well.

		Afon Mawddach - it is simply referred to as "The River" by many local prospectors.
		Panners have dug for gold for centuries along the Mawddach, and a number of old gold mines are situated along its wooded valley.
		It is possible to hear huge boulders clunking together on the river-bed, and when the flood has subsided, the areas of stripped-off moss along the gorges, high above the usual water-levels, and the great tree-trunks which have been washed up, bear testimony to its elemental power.

		At the Mawddach Crescent site a series of cuttings had to be blasted through a headland and a rocky promontory at the eastern end of the bay to allow the tramway access.
		Trams leaving Barmouth Junction for Mawddach Crescent were then able to cross the Cob to the end of Barmouth Bridge, drop their passengers and pick up others for the return trip.
		We soon found out why the Afon Mawddach had been chosen for this training for, to get to sea, we had to negotiate the railway bridge and the very fast current running beneath it and then go over the bar from which the town, Barmouth, got its name.
