There has been disconcertingly little snow on the ground in the Pacific North West since I got here.<\/strong> Thankfully Jack Frost delivered yesterday and has begun topping us up with a store of water that will hopefully produce some legendary spring flows and keep the classic rivers flowing throughout the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were caught amidst the fresh snowfall on the water today which, while making it cold, also enhanced the beauty and landscape that surrounds Dave Fusilli<\/a>‘s local river, the Truss.

It’s a short but steep descent down to the river, and my journey down to the water featured it’s very own soundtrack as Dave howled with laughter as he watched a British city boy unaccustomed to snow and woefully slow to manoeuvre over anything that isn’t concrete shuffle his way down.

Myself, Dave, and Rob had a wicked lap down the river, we all took Rippers<\/a>. Soon the time will come when the water rises, I switch the Ripper out for the Machno<\/a>, and I commit to being scared every day, but until then I intend to spend every day I can zipping around the river and getting vertical in what may be my favourite kayak of all time, even when it’s cold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let a little bit of cold weather stop you from getting out and enjoying the river, even if you were born south of Warrington.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
