	Tryweryn - Wikipaddle
		The Afon Tryweryn is the best of the small handful of rivers in Wales that are dam released and offers 8km of classic Grade II to Grade IV whitewater.
		The dam releases are dependent on a number of factors including rainfall, local river levels and extraction needs, however, on average, the Tryweryn enjoys over 200 days of water a year, which makes it a popular destination for boaters across the country.
		This section is not managed like the upper Tryweryn, although the centre has been known to remove fallen trees and other obstructions/hazards quickly.
