Name:<\/strong> Oliver Duggan<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Scouting the leven in tasty flows!<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong> Ambleside, Cumbria<\/p>\n

YO! Originally from Limerick Ireland, now living, studying and paddling in the Lake District. I started paddling with the scouts when I was 16 and was hooked immediately. I learnt to paddle mainly in Ireland with a few welsh trips thrown in along the way. I realised paddling is the lifestyle for me and after and an Italian and Slovenian trip in the summer of 2014. I have been looking to paddle bigger water since then.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stylish plug on landwasser Italy, the pros always plug right?<\/p>\n

Kit:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Helmet \u2013 Sweet Protection Wanderer<\/a><\/p>\n

BA \u2013 Palm Extrem<\/a><\/p>\n

Cag – Old blue Yak (haven\u2019t got a clue about the name) not very dry. But they make us tough in the Emerald Isle.<\/p>\n

Drypants – Palm<\/p>\n

Thermals \u2013 billabong ski thermals and a decathlon fleece bought for a tenner and is one of the best thermals I’ve owned. Get yourself one.<\/p>\n

Shoes \u2013 Karrimor running shoes (not the greatest for grip but do the job).<\/p>\n

Boat \u2013 Liquid logic Jefe Grande (LOVE IT!!!).<\/p>\n

Paddles \u2013 Old AT cranks (old but solid \u263a)<\/p>\n

My kit is battered and old, but I love it. You don\u2019t need all the latest kit to get out there and have fun so whats stopping you!? <\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boofing a ledge on the gorge section of the Sermenza.<\/p>\n

Up and coming plans:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going to start working towards my level 5 skills and potentially some instructor awards, away from awards im just looking to get out on the water as much as possible and enjoy the sport I love. Might throw in a few races along the way like the Morriston. University wise im studying outdoor studies so I get to enjoy the outdoors in a variety of ways, and get to head out climbing, biking or kayaking about 3 to 4 times a week so life is pretty sweet right now. <\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Booty beers with ULKC.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Walking towards the Sorba Slides.<\/p>\n
