River Safety – WW Safety Anthology

As an honored and respected member of the WW community CMM and HMH are requesting your cooperation. In 2017 it is proposed that a WW safety anthology of stories and rescues will be published. This is a new take on a river safety manual – it is not a boring safety manual but a book full of first person accounts, where the reader can learn from your experiences.

We are looking for true and accurate submissions, without the need for scenario evaluations. 2000+ word count – The book cannot evolve without your help. It cannot help grow the community, from which we all learn. Our request for your inclusion within the book has not been taken lightly, your experiences and knowledge are sure to be of benefit for our readers.

For Benji

A beautifully put together edit.

For Benji

Ever since I have been coming to Norway Benji was always there waiting to take us kayaking. His enthusiasm always made for such amazing times on and off the water. His huge smile and laugh could be seen and heard a mile away and he was always grinning ear to ear at the bottom of every rapid. This film is a compilation of footage from my years in Voss and some really lovely footage sent in by friends from all over the world!
