The Afon Glaslyn above the gorge From Beddgelert the Afon Glaslyn continues down at a pleasant gradient, but grade three paddlers will have wanted to get off before reaching this section, just before the river becomes engorged and gets significantly harder. Paddling the Aberglaslyn gorge is forbidden in the summer months (and they have already started by early April) though there appears to be no legal basis to this prohibition on what is, by right acknowledged as existing since time immemorial before the Magna Carta, a public navigation (as for all navigable rivers in England and Wales). However, at this level, it is not technically navigable. Paddlers generally adhere to the voluntary agreement not to paddle on any section of the river when it is below a certain level established on prominent markers at the usual points of access for conservation reasons as well as safety and practicality. There are no markers, however, to show when the level is so high that epics are imminent...
