Winter on the White Nile from Mark Mulrain on Vimeo.
Escaping the cold of the UK for the warmth of the White Nile for Christmas and New Year. I could get used to not having to wrap up for boating.
Re-uploaded as vimeo wasn’t allowing me to link the video to other sites.

This is a very personal account of the last 6 months and my time spent recovering from injury. It features a few dark moments before the positive outcomes so please bare with it…
This winter has been pretty tough with very limited amounts of kayaking. Back in September I dislocated my ankle wake boarding breaking both my Tibia and Fibular. As a result I was in hospital for 5 nights requiring extensive surgery to fix my ankle back together.
When you have a major injury, whilst it’s extremely painful, you do not think of the pain. As soon as it happened straight away I knew I was going to be off the water for a long time, and that feeling is a lot worse than any pain, and don’t get me wrong the pain is massive!
In hospital you are dosed up on pain killers and put in a ward with other sick and injured patients. You are left waiting for when you will go in to surgery with little knowledge whether it will be a few hours or a few days.
Palm Equipment hooked me up with one of their new FXr PFDs for test the other week and subsequent review on Unsponsored.
