Welcome to my journal, documenting my life on the water. Hopefully you’ll find something useful or interesting here, whether you are a local kayaker or a visitor from overseas, new to the sport or an old hand. If you are expecting extreme paddling missions in exotic locations, my adventures are a little more low key. Remember adventures are an important part of life, so pursue your own adventures, big or small and live life to the fullest.
News and Upcoming Highlights
This hasn’t been the best summer, cold with plenty of rain, some flooding and not much paddling. Autumn is just around the corner and hopefully I’ll manage to get a few more trips in before winter comes. Paddle safe and hopefully we’ll see you on a river soon.
