Overview
The National White Water Centre is at Bala, 20 miles from the hostel, with white water rafting, canoeing and kayaking - you can hire your equipment or get tuition. For something a bit different you can try dinghy sailing on the lake. The Mawddach estuary is great for canoeing/kayaking. There are huge sandy beaches nearby - ideal for surfing and windsurfing, you'll need to bring your own gear or drive to the hire centre 30 minutes away.
