I thought I’d share some posts of my completed summer project (Skeena).

Testing on the river by my home:

First float

First outing in the Lake District NP (U.K.): my girlfriend and I hiked over Place Fell and down the other side. I paddled and she did a trail run back to the car…

Our first overnight tour was across Rannoch Mor. We caught the train from Rannoch to Bridge of Orchy, then walked up the West Highland way before heading cross country to the rivers and lochs of one of the U.K.s largest peat bogs – much more fun than it sounds and perfectly possible in the lunchtime train.

Just off the train!
