Myself, Fran Kohn, Dave Hollins and Niamh Stack are just about head out for a month of exploring the rivers of Colombia in South America. Jungles, mountains, big volume, low volume, boulder gardens and the odd waterfall too… plus the potential of some multiday action where we’ll sleep in hammocks. We’re dead excited! Our bags [...]

On February 7th I’ll be talking about a variety of my adventures from around the globe as part of the High Sport Winter Lecture series, based in Shrewsbury.

This is my second trip to [...]
