The boys at Palm have asked myself to run a twitter feed from the World Freestyle Champs at Thun, check out simon_in_thun, plus I will be running a bunch of audio coverage interviews and video segments from Monday when things start to heat up.
Until then, Twittering it is
Ciao
Simon

Where I was staying, “Keenerville”, was right by the side of the Ottawa river with Phils hole and McCoys [...]

The trib, seen on the left as you walk [...]

Mr Biggin gave Rich Waterworth and myself a call last wednesday, trying to rally a small crew who were game for the painful hike in and paddle out of the River Kinglass. Dave had been working so hard in the office to get ahead of schedule, which allowed him two and a half minutes to [...]

This past Spring has been one of the red letter seasons, that you hear about from of the old guard, going on about big snow pack years, where the Piemonte paddling season lasted into June and even beyond. In recent years there has been good to excellent snow conditions, yet all to often the [...]

It was a good day for kayaking in the media yesterday. After Radio 1 had finished telling the kids to go paddle the Wye this weekend, we switched on the TV to see this:
