One day ’til lift off!

Hurray, it’s only one day until I jet off for two weeks on the equator; big water kayaking on the White Nile in Uganda. Picked up my dollars, sorted my travel insurance and took my first malaria tablet today. All set to go, with battle scars? already…

The injuries

I face planted off my bike yesterday lunchtime after doing a jump. It always ends in pain when you start trying to jump a height stick!

Me straight after the stack!

Luckily, I didn’t break any more teeth! Just a split eyebrow, scuffed chin and bruised ego. Speaking of teeth, I had? my crown put on today; my Dad always did say I was his little princess!

The Team setting up a rescue

Last weekend, as part of the British Universities Kayak Expedition Team’s preparation for our trip to Siberia and Mongolia this summer, we partook in a Swiftwater Rescue Technician course – covering rescue techniques from simple channel crossing? to complex mechanical advantage systems. We’ll have a full report and more pictures? on our website soon.

Sherman to the rescue!

Dave swimming (again)

That’s it for now, next time I post on here, it’ll be from Uganda! Stay tuned for big air, fun times and hopefully less photos of how I have mangled myself (again).?

Dong ibedi.
