Avon Descent

ooo, really? Well done! Another big commitment. David did it in a pair - both paddled each day, doing 1/2 day each. He said "The Valley" is the hardest. It's hard to train for too, as the valley is closed to public access until race day, but is the part where all the ti-trees and fast moving water is. His mates who do it each year insisted on taking him up there for a few weekends leading up to the race but its hard unless there is enough water as you're just fighting the snags, rocks etc. I have a good bit of video showing bits of the course, so when I get time to load it into Vimeo or YouTube I'll embed it here for you.
