Bala Lake Relay Weekender

A great weekend camping at Bala (Llyn-Tegid). Endless relay rowing up and down the lake.

To the south west of the town of Bala, between the Berwyn, Aran and Arenig mountains lies Llyn Tegid, or you may have heard it referred to as Bala Lake. At 4 miles long and up to ¾ of a mile wide it is Wales’ largest natural lake. It is owned and managed by the Snowdonia National Park Authority as a recreational resource, who also protects the lake and its special biodiversity. It is a totally stunning place to practice rowing

Last rowed as a training weekend, ahead of the Celtic Challenge. We camp and launch at  http://www.glanllyn.com. Last time  we rowed down the lake and back again (65-80 mins rowing), changing over crews at the campsite. And on we went….the boat staying on the water for 14 hours or so into the night.
