It’s always good to get a few unexpected river miles…

Yesterday me, Dom and Dan had a very nice bit of cake at Mill on the Exe, followed by some enjoyable sinking at Pots and topped off with a civilised birthday party in a plush penthouse! In the night the heavens opened just enough to give us a morning of sport on the Upper Dart. A couple of enjoyable runs, on the ledge, and then just on the ledge. Just enough water to keep it cruisy. Lovely!

That’s the Alps done and dusted for another year. Just a short trip for me this year, mainly to have a couple of events… These went off ok, more on them coming soon.

The recent ban on paddling the swollen rivers was lifted the day we arrived, the sun came out, and other than dodging an avalanche it was all good. :-)

Cruising down the sunshine run in the sun.

Will Laws dropping in for his first big seal launch, on the second river he’s ever paddled!

Kicking back in the sun after some cracking Briancon Gorge speed descending.

The Gyronde, with a hangover. Splashy at best, mainly crap.

Dagger Beers. Cheers Cheese!!

The first back hammer where I didn’t land on my head. Woo!
