Vertical Mile on the Ldub

Wags wanted to go a a "suffer fest" to train for the next time we cross path with our impressive Kiwi friends Phil and Rata (@twodashproduction on insta). The idea is that we can hopefully keep up with them for some missions on the NZ's south island. On this beautiful day we were joined by legends Benny Marr who had an impressive non stop 29h endurance paddle on the Chilko-Chilcotin-Fraser, and GB's finest Tom Rainey who has rowed across the North Atlantic ocean. Couldn't think of a better team or a better river to complete my first ever kayaking vertical mile.

God I miss wild water kayaking and wish to return. I used to train it up until high school and it is such a pure test of bravery and skill. I even named my composition for Bachelor degree ''Wild Waters''.

Awesome video. Did you scope out the sections before paddling to get routes planned?

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

That was a seriously epic achievement! Awesome to watch! What was your rest and recovery after?

[@NouriaNewmanKayak]

The next day was pretty chill. We had a great joy lap on the middle white salmon with a lot of friends.
