Last weekend the second race in the Norwegian Whitewater Cup took place at Trøndelagsrunden, a small kayaking festival in the wild valleys of Sør Trondelag. Due to low lying snow remaining far down into the Ena valley, this year the race course had to be moved. This meant the morning started with competitors learning the …

RWE are planning to install a hydro scheme on the river Conwy near Betws-y-Coed in North Wales. The plan is to abstract up to 6m³/s of the water in the Conwy, above Penmachno bridge, and divert it through ~2km of pipelines before returning it below the confluence with the Lledr. This section of river is …

In the event’s short history the race has seen super low levels in it’s first year and beautiful medium levels last year.

I guess you are normally supposed to do this before the year actually ends but I was busy traveling in southern Chile so I didn’t have time then. Here it is anyway! 2014 was a great year, super fun and almost 100% injury free with lots of kayaking on my favorite destinations! So stoked to be living this …

I’m pretty lucky to get good leave allowance where I work, so can usually get away for one foreign “lads” boating trip a year on harder rivers, plus one holiday with my better half which (due to her understanding my kayaking addiction) usually involves a good amount of boating – though generally at a more …
