I’m back
Ok so i realize its been quite a long time since my last blog update. Anyways i have some news and here it is. I got a call from fellow team fluid paddler Will Clark in early Jan saying he was going to be in South Africa for about a week and was looking for something to do. Luckyly we had had a lot of rain all over the country so the water was up and there was good paddling to be done. On his way down from JHB he stopped off at the fluid factory in Parys and picked up a nice new large detox for me and we were set. We loaded up his little rental car with the boats and headed for underberg, planning to paddle the Polela and thrombi section of the umzimkulu. We met up with some guys and paddled a high level thrombi (no photos) and got quite a few runs down the Polela. Thanks to Will Clark and Guy Anderson for the photos.
