Raundalselva under threat in Voss – Norway!
Boating season has is well under way for most up here is Norway, despite the currently cold nights and low water levels.
For me, I have to wait and train up a few more weeks before trying anything too exciting after a back operation, but I have paddled the rafting section of the Raundalselva
Which brings me to the subject of saving the the Raundalselva. One of the worlds most beautiful rives is under threat from hydro projects!!

As anyone who has been to Norway knows this river is a gem, with its crystal clear water, raging waterfalls and scenic beauty there is no way in hell you could ever live to see it damed.
At the moment a dubious play has been layed out presenting 10 different ideas for hydro developments, but the most poplar project from the developers side of the table would involve taking water out at the the start of the ‘Rime’ section and delivering it back right down near the airport near Voss. The minimum summer flow left in the river is said to be around 6.5 cumecs, and about 2 or so in the winter – This is obviously not good for any river users, be they fishermen, kayakers, fish or animals after the fish.
Voss Kayak club have been leading the debate and opposition right now and doing a great job at prompting discussion.
To find out more about this and get involved you should head over the to FaceBook group and join in – everyone can help!!

Easter Adventures in Morocco
We rocked up to Marrakech airport and found our Omar, our driver for the trip. He led us out to a ~14 seater minibus (well, it would have been if a load of seats hadn’t been removed). It was complete overkill for only five people, this was going to be travelling in luxury.
[[Click on photo for better quality version]]
The plan for the 2 week trip was to cruise down a few sunny multidays, nothing too hard if our 20 year old German guidebook was anything to go by. We started off with a warm-up run on the Ourika, followed by a 70km 2-day run down the spectacular Dades river.
