A narrow channel of water threads between alder and oak, the canal glass-smooth in places and rippling where the paddle parts it. On a typical morning the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal offers a close-to-ground kind of wilderness — trees leaning over the towpath, the occasional heron launching like a gray arrow, and low hills framing the valley. You start with brief on-water instruction, climb into a 9ft solo kayak, and set a steady rhythm for the next three miles.
