First boatercross! So much fun! Not spectacular whitewater, just some nice people messing about in boats. Great day : )

This beautiful place is very much part of my paddling life: This is where I did my very first slalom race and countless training sessions. I’m standing in France taking the photo, the houses you can see across the river are in France. There is an ‘island’ in the middle that is neutral territory, which is where the prizegiving takes place for races.
