Kayak 2010 - 'Going for a paddle'
I do have a sort of fitness / adventure streak still going through me and my friend Andrew Newark (who originally suggested going to Europe in 1998) planted a seed in my head about kayaking down the Danube river, starting from the Black Forest in Germany and ending 2850 km later at the Black Sea Romania.
So now its happening in June 2010. Andrew will also be kayaking with me and if you want to join us then come and join us.
The basic plan is to kayak 6 – 8 hours a day for 4 weeks and paddling
80 – 120km per day.
