After being grounded for two weeks for some appalling behaviour in Corsica, Unsponsored’s little brother River found some big water here in the UK.

Norway I

It’s 2 days into my Norway trip, I’ll try and update this as often as I can although internet is a little hard to come by. So far things have been sweet. Yesterday we started with the appropriately named Zambezi section whilst on the way to Voss. After a lovely night camped under the bridge we got on the upper Mykdal (don’t know how to spell it) followed be the upper and racecourse sections of the Brandseth. We also headed over to Money drop which had quite a lot of water. Barney went 1st, got about 5 seconds of down time, his deck popped and we eventually rescued his boat with some big dents in it. The rest of us will probably wait until the levels drop a bit.

Pringle Winning At The 2013 Drau Rodeo – Lienz, Austria.

Italy

My decision to go to the alps this year was fairly last minute and with plans already in place to spend most of the summer abroad I was originally a bit reluctant to go, however it seemed like too good a trip to pass up so before I knew it I was rushing out of uni the week before term actually finished and was on the road.

We originally intended to head to Austria, but it soon became apparent that this would mean a very wet week with less than ideal water levels for kayaking so by the time we got off the train in France we’d redirected the satnav for Italy and after god knows how many hours of Team America and Candy Crush Saga we arrived to sunny skies and perfect water levels in Valsesia, Italy.

MTB Essentials

If you are new to MTB then it isn’t always easy to know what gear to take, what works well, what is essential and what you can go without. Gear is very much a personal thing, what to one person is an essential may seem like to another a needless luxury. Carrying the right kit when out on ride can prevent a small mechanical problem turning into a 3 hour epic. Carry too much and your ride becomes a kit hauling nightmare. Obviously you will need to tailor what you carry to the envrionment your riding in and the length/duration of the ride.
