Deestyle
For the last few days in N.Wales we have been having lots of rain but no rivers have been up during the day, except for a couple of cheeky Fairy Glen runs, so we headed off to the Dee that was running at 12 on the gauge, an amazing level for play boating. After “borrowing” …

160 Mile Yorkshire Jaunt
Myself and Jason Raper recently succeeded in completing a full decent of the River Ure, 160 miles. I can only assume the list of people to achieve this is fairly short and it was not high on our list of things to do. Unfortunately the tragic loss of a friend whilst kayaking on New Years …

Scotland: A trip of two halves
Scotland is always unpredictable when it comes to weather, and at easter it lived up to its reputation. The trip started driving north in the sunshine, stopping off at Glasgow for an epic kebab en route.

Scotland 2012
We took all but one of our Pyranha fleet to deepest darkest Scotland this Easter. With only one day of rain all week levels could have been better but then again we’re pretty well practised in running things on the low side after two dry winters! Levels aside, we had a brilliant time taking on …
