More Adventures in Kenya

Once again life is super hectic over here in Kenya, although I did get up to a few silly adventures last week, whilst working with the British Army again.

Last weekend I was working as a safety kayaker on the Tana river in highwater. The two boat trip was super sweet with a quick blast on the Mission to finish (8m clean waterfall).

I then worked a six day straight with the army mainly running the climbing element to their adventurous training but also seeking the chance to run some professional development and updating procedures for Savage’s kayak staff.

The evenings saw a few of us get up to some mischief. One evening Colin and myself re-visited the bungee tower where I kayaked froma few years ago, to have a quick abseil and swing around on in a fabulous sunset.

Another evening we made a quick dash after work to the Mission for a quick boof session and for Colin and Camello to throw themselves off in a raft. All successful descents.

The following evening a small crew headed up the Tana for quick blast down the commercially rafted section. Unfortunately Kris broke his paddle on one of the first rapids Can of Worms, however it was highly amusing as we took turns to share the C1 style approach and James again ran the Mission but this time with only half a blade.
