Darren Clarkson-King is a writer<\/a>, extreme kayaker, expedition provider, river consultant, mentor and inspirational speaker. Darren has taken part in some truly epic expeditions including a solo descent of the Dudh Kosi and Arun in Nepal – Riding the tears of Everest. A true adventurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have read much of Darren’s online work and I have always been struck by the feelings and depth of emotion buried within his writing. Many of Darren’s words are ones that I can so easily connect with and relate to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have Darren agree to take part in the Unsponsored Q&A series is simply awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivers come and rivers go, one eddy flows to the next wave \u2013 we make our choices and move on. Never stopping, restless and awaiting. It is the drive to go with the river that takes us to its heart \u2013 moving us onwards to its end …<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us a little a bit about you accomplishments in the canoeing\/kayaking world…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve done some rivers that were big and some that were shallow. Kayaked from Everest solo, did some first Ds and some classic falls. Paddled from K2, dropped off Snowdon. Travelled and guided worldwide. Did a book, assisted in another, did a blog or so and run\/manage 2 adventure providers. Now do talks and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
