Bala is a large inland lake, shallow near the slipway and very deep elsewhere. Please watch out for wild swimmers and my small boat. Winds can be gusty and no rescue service is available. Participants are entirely responsible for their own safety.
There’s still some confusion on dates, with some internet sites saying 2022 and others 2023.
