The boys Fire up the Alps!

Well this year has been OK for boating so far but nothing special, so some months ago it was discussed that all the local lakes boaters would try and get together for some summer alpine boating and try and fire up some of the classics. So on Tuesday 6th July 3 of us started our journey in the good old reliable VW van loaded with kit we headed for the Alps. Me, Guy and Dave were met in France by Atty, Pilky, Jonny and Ewart all of whom had made there own way there. We were ready to go and fire it up. We worked our way through the classics like the Durance, Guill, Briancon Gorge, Gizane, Guyronde, Onde, Ubay, Chatuex Queras, Gardian Angel and many more. For me as an Alpine first timer it was an amazing experience and a great opportunity to develop my boating skills. We didn't get many pictures due to the unstoppable nature of the kayaking out there but what we did get will be put up on the blog asap.......
