The River Plym


This week me and Radical Rob headed to Dartmoor to catch some heavy rain. Dartmoor is an beautiful place, full of granite torrs and wild ponnies.

The area is full of history, littered with Bronse age settlements , Leats (water channels) to supply water to surrounding towns and these stone crosses that the monks used to cross the moor.




The Plym is one of the best grade 5 rivers in England, it rises and falls quickly after heavy rain.



The 3km section runs through a magnificent and almost spooky forest. The river is steep and boulder garden in nature.

I Want Mungo

One of the rivers we'd wanted to do for a while was the upper gorges of the Hokitika and Mungo Gorge. The conditions were right, with good weather and good water levels so we flew in for the two day unsung classic.

Sketchy portage: Seal launch Simon through the trees and past the undercut. Jump in and swim to the side dodging the trees. Throw the boats and paddles in, then pick up the pieces.

Simon didn't know that this easy boof landed in a gigantic eddie/sieve with no exits.
