Councillor Nigel Howells, Executive Member for Sports, Leisure and Culture. 

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the second annual guide to Adventure Cardiff and invite you to discover the variety of activities on offer. 

As the Capital of Wales, Cardiff reaps the benefits of a modern city with international sporting facilities such as the Millennium Stadium, together with the Celtic countryside right on its doorstep. 

This year the city centre - already ranked in the top 10 UK retail destinations - enters its final phase of developing the new St David’s 2 shopping complex. Also, Cardiff Castle has undergone extensive refurbishment including, opening its new Interpretation Centre in the heart of the city. 

Cardiff Bay - less than two miles from the centre - has become a widely respected sporting destination in its own right. Watersports enthusiasts of all ages and abilities can participate in a multitude of activities in a safe and exciting environment. Since the Barrage was built in 2001, creating the 200 hectare freshwater lake, Cardiff Bay has hosted a number of land and water-based events such as the popular Cardiff International Food and Drink Festival and Cardiff Outdoor Action Show. Last year’s Home Countries Rowing Championship was an important tournament in the careers of budding Olympians and in 2009 we will again showcase a calendar of exciting spectator and participant events.

The International Sports Village continues to evolve with new facilities including the olympic-standard Canoe Slalom Centre undergoing construction, due to be completed by 2010. The new international standard 50 metre swimming pool and ice rink have already been a great hit with visitors and residents, heralding a new era of sporting excellence against the beautiful Bay backdrop. 

Adventure Cardiff has developed a strong reputation for running high-profile events alongside its main role as activity provider. Whether you are a water sports veteran or looking to try something new, Adventure Cardiff has two sites offering a range of water based options. 

Certified by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA), Royal Yachting Association (RYA), Welsh Amateur Rowing Association (WARA) and recognised by the Welsh Canoe Association (WCA) and a key partner for the Welsh Yachting Association (WYA), the Centres in the Bay and at Llanishen are run by experienced and qualified instructors working for Cardiff Harbour Authority.

Rowing, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, climbing, powerboating, white water rafting, mountain biking - or if you can’t decide - a mix of everything!

We hope you enjoy reading about these opportunities and this guide serves as a useful stepping stone to experiencing the thrill of Adventure Cardiff.
