CREEKING IN WALES
To the outside eye, Wales may be better known for its rugged coastlines and scenic landscapes than for its wealth of whitewater, but the best kept non-secret of the UK paddling scene is that Wales offers multitudinous river adventures. Rob Litherland takes us on a whirlwind tour of paddling in Wales, from the dawn patrols and creeks of the North to some of the lesser-known classics in the South, with plenty more in-between.
INTERVIEW-DANIEL EGGER
The best word to describe Daniel Egger must be “ubiquitous.” At the age of 28, he has founded an influential paddling crew in his home country of Austria, premiered a film at the Rosenheim Film Festival, and in 2018 alone, paddled in 19 countries across Europe, Asia, and North America. We caught up with Egger to hear more about his travels and his perspective on making kayaking your life.
