Dirty Reiver 2023

The other weekend I spent some time in Northumberland taking some photographs at the Dirty Reiver gravel event. The event consists of three different routes a 65km, 130km and 200km ride.

The 200km event is one continuous loop with three feed stations at 52km, 103km and 154km approx. There is 3100m of ascent with cut-offs at 34km and 136km – more info in the relevant section.

The 130km event follows a similar route to the 200km with 2100m of ascent, feeds at 52km and 103km and a cut-off at 34km.

The 65km event has 1000m of ascent with a feed at 48km.


I took around 6000 photos and have uploaded them to Roots and Rain. A small section can be found on Instagram.

Pyranha Kayaks – Firecracker

The Firecracker is Pyranha’s latest Half-Slice kayak and is available in three sizes. 232, 242 and 252. The 242 is available at dealers now. The smaller 232 and larger 252 will be released at a later date.

Pyranha Kayaks – Firecracker

This is Pyranha’s answer to the new Apex and Waka half slice kayaks and it looks great.

Here is what Pyranha has to say about the new Firecracker:

Explosive, downriver freeride energy that everyone can enjoy! The Firecracker is a compact half-slice to whip into every micro-eddy, snap onto every wave, and get vertical everywhere – no matter who you are, you’ll be able to throw this around, sky-gaze, and have the comfort and confidence to nail that new move.

• Compact and lightweight half-slice design.
• Spinnable, surfable, stable planing hull.
• A bow that stays dry downriver, but you can still get down and party with.
• Enjoy explosive moments of fun and relax without consequence between them.
• Rolls easy so you can try new tricks again and again until you stick the landing.
• Next-generation ergonomics for all day comfort
• Don’t just unlock the river, blow the doors off
• Full Stout 2 outfitting
