2012 Picture summary

2012 was a stellar year for me.
It started with a huge NZ Summer followed by a 6 week trip to Madagascar then on to North America for another 6 weeks of gettin’ busy. Back home in Spring, I got to bag some of the steepest steeps NZ has to offer, and generally just hang about the “Best Coast”.
Enjoy the pics from Mada and North America. NZ photos to follow soon.
If you’re thinking of going on an expedition, then I can highly recommend Madagascar. I will be back there for sure. Beautiful people, food, wildlife, scenery and most importantly, insanely good kayaking.

This river is being flooded for hydro. We were potentially the last kayakers to run it. Save our rivers.

Namarone River Madagascar. We rallied ourselves to the South Eastern corner of Madagascar with crossed fingers hoping to catch the flow, and got it bang on.
