We have just returned to freezing cold Canada after Exploring Malaysia and the entire length of Vietnam. All the way from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) to the Chinese border… travelling in a 40 seater bus with 4 other paddlers and a translater. Malaysia offered up some pretty fun rivers as well and a lot of potential for future trips. Check out the next YGP flic “THe Source” for the footage…photos at www.triberiders.ca

                                                   

      After an fantastic trip to New Zealand its good to be back on my local run.  I had a good weekend, despite a disappointing day on sunday after lots of rain but still low water and a trip to A&E for a friend.

The last few months have seen the mighty father Thames (south east of the Blighty) flowing at some very high levels.  My local weir  Shepperton has been producing a wide variety of features over the last couple of weeks, as the water rises and falls, from closed out deep stoppers that pull the leaves from surounding trees to a large clean green wave. Below are a few pictures we tock this morning.  The 4 twenty works really well, but not quite as fun as the Ammo, try to get some pictures of that tonight!  

 

In November I accompanied a group of students on a 10 day expedition. They are 1st year students of Outdoor recreation , and most have started kayaking this year.

We walked for 5 days over a couple of peaks, and reached the headwaters of the Clarence river , then spent 5 days descending the 200km to the ocean in high water.

the team.

In the mountains we had some beautiful weather, and summited 2 peaks.

I have been taking some downtime lately, due to a leg injury and operation that went bad, but in the re-hab time I have completely rebuilt my www.riverkore.com site.

My aim was to make to update able by all of our riverkore team and present it as a showcase of our adventures.

You will find image and video gallerys, which I am trying to fill up with all kind of images that have been sitting on my computer for years doing nothing! You will also find articles from past expeditions, with accompanying galleries and some might even have a video clip.

If you register on the site you get a few features, you can abuse us with comments! (be nice or I delete you:-) You can also add to discussions on any article that has been posted in the forums to discuss.

You can comment on images, send e-cards and there are a few wallpapers around.

So go have a look, have fun and have a great xmas, you guys in the USoA, Happy Hollidays, some one told me the other day American dont say ‘Merry Christmas’

Have fun
