Doug Ammons

Doug Ammons who? Most people ask.

Doug is a famous paddler in the USA. He has pushed the boundaries of kayaking. Doug paddled solo the Stikine River in Canada. A river not to be taken lightly!

This trip has been compared to solo climbs of Everest and one of the greatest feats in the history of kayaking.

Doug is coming to our uni to talk about his life of paddling and talk about the solo run he has never spoken about publicly before.

Dartmoor Weekend.

We went to Dartmoor but paddled no fresh water!

It had not rained in weeks so the rivers were very low. Low rivers damage kit and damage people who swim!

On the Saturday we went and paddled the tidal Exe from Exeter to A remote pub towards Starcross.

Saturday afternoon we watched Englands attempt at rugby in the newly reopened local pub.

Much merryment was had on satuday night with various eating contests!

Sunday the polo nutters went off to play polo at Millfield. The rest of us caught some good surf on the North Devon coast at Saunton Sands. Some nice 2-3ft faces kept us entertained for a while.

Coffe and cake then home for curry and sleep!
