Loving it and Living it in Africa...

The last couple of months I've been working for Love it Live it - a kayak guiding company that runs trips all around the world.
I started off with a trip on the Nile - followed by the Zambezi. It was my second time down in Zambia but my first trip was short and this time I really got to know the river.
All the guys on the Zambezi trip had an awesome time and learnt a lot about big-water. Here's some of my favorite photos from the trip...

Will Clark back on the Nile in Uganda throwing it down on Nile Special.
So I'm back to Uganda now and running another Love it Live it trip, I had a sweet paddle this morning and have been having heaps of fun on the river.
I have a few more days left on this trip and then on the 5th October I'm heading to Nepal.
Happy Paddling people and be safe.
There's a lot of kayakers doing stupid things out on the Nile at the moment, and I have no respect for people taking silly risks!!

Nepali Girls Ripping It Up...

On the 5th of October I'm heading out to Nepal. I'll be there for about two months.
My plans are to meet up with Anton Immler and friends and hopefully do a lot of paddling and a few big missions that Anton has lined up. At the end of the trip is the Peakuk Himalaya Challenge, a competition and no doubt a good old party with friends.
Also I have a whole heap of friends heading out in October to train up Nepalise girls to kayak and raft guide. They've got a really good idea going on and at the moment are hunting down gear to donate to the girls. If you want to help out, get involved through their blog:

Lots of fun in Zambia...

After a successful Multi-day trip for the last four days we're now resting up in Livingstone before a final 3 days of big water coaching and freestyle paddling. The wave at number 2 is coming in sweet so hopefully we'll have a sweet session there tomorrow and maybe we'll get the tow rope sorted out so we can have an easier time getting on.

Here's a bit of a montage of some of my favorite photos from the last few days on the water and the trip so far.






Safe travels everyone!
