Favourite River

Anything in Scotland.  Amazing rivers with great scenery.

Favourite Playspot

Hurley or HP.  I like it big and bouncy.

Best Canoeing Experience

Surfing 20-30 foot waves on my wedding day in Cornwall.  The surf was the best I’d ever been on which made the whole day more memorable.

Worst Canoeing Experience

Swimming on Symonds Yat whilst open canoeing and getting my legs trapped between the boat and a rock.  Very painful lesson – never swim downstream of a swamped canoe.

Most Embarrassing Canoeing Experience

Getting pinned and swimming on the Upper Dart after teasing a friend that he’d swim on the Loop, whilst on his first whitewater weekend.  He didn’t – I did.  Oh the shame!

Significant Results

Being selected to marry my beautiful wife Angela. ;-)
