 The summer is fading away, new snow is appearing on the hills round Voss and a new season approaches!
Right now it feels like it has been raining since June, sun seems a luxury once indulged in, back in June, but overall I would say it has been a great summer. Our rivers have been feed well most of the summer by good snow pack from last winter, but then, just as we thought low water was in, bang, 0 - hero and every things in flood!
In the last month the local river around Voss have gone from low water to full flood about 4 times and counting. The Raundal river goes has gone from 13 cumecs to over 200 in an evening of rain, then back to 50 or so 24 hours later. Needless to say this keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing where you should head next.

 It was that time of year again! When kayakers gather from all over Norway and Europe to party and paddle in the Riksanlegget Kayak Camp besides the Sjoa River in central Norway. This year saw the comeback of the mighty Ula race, all sorts of fun and games with rafts and a gruelling multi-sport race for the keen!

 The first day of 2009 - Urdlandelva
Spring has sprung and the rivers of Norway are up and running! Right now you can ski, kayak or surf, or do all on the same day if your up for it! This is a pretty great part of the year as the trees and feilds colour up, the days get longer and the sun bring everyone out to play!

 First descent of the Teigdaleselva for this season! With the sun shinning and snow melting hard we gathered a team of 10 to 'huck our meat' on the mighty waterfalls and slides that lay in the Teigdale valley just down the road from our summer home of Voss - Norway. Tylor Curtis and Mariann Saether happened to be in town with their crash-test dummy, Logan Grayling and we had the latest addition to Voss Rafting Senter, the 'Italian stallion' Michele Ramazza ready for initiation!

 On the 19th Nov a team of bald explorers, including Shalabh Gahault, Mike Abbott, Sam Hughes, Zak Shaw, Sangrup (our driver from Ladakh) and myself loaded a jeep in Katmandu, Nepal and set course for Gauhati in Assam. 4 days later Andy Phillips arrived and they headed into the hills of Arunachal Pradesh aiming to complete several sections of un-run rivers and expecting to be challenged with situations requiring extreme bravery and ingenuity.
