Riviere du Something or Other (I forget), Quebec

Kevin is the reason I had a hangover yesterday. He’s getting married in a couple of weeks, so we all gathered for his Stag Night, which involved all manner of japes, such as … <edited – WHOTRSOTR>

Anyway, Kevin is yet another whitewater paddler friend who likes to slow down and enjoy the sea from time to time. He paddled to the Isles of Scilly with me a few days after buying his first sea kayak, and he has joined us for a number of trips this year. Kevin is very much into the campcraft side of sea paddling. In fact, he’s unhealthily obsessed with survivalist-bushcraft-Ray-Mears-type nonsense, and can usually be found lighting fires in pouring rain using wet moss and cow turds, whilst the rest of us head off to the pub for dinner. Kevin is also infamous for;

- Taking twice as long as everyone else to get changed.
- Being obsessed with shiney new colour co-ordinated paddling gear.
- Scaring small children.
- Wearing silly hats.
- Scaring llamas.
- Having no idea how many sisters his fiancee has, or what they are called.

Anyway Kevin, we’re all delighted that you and Alice are getting married. See you at the wedding!

  1. I’m hoping that this first picture is a photoshop montage thingy……you can’t paddle stuff like that…….can you?

  2. It’s much fluffier than it looks …

  3. Kevin is also infamous for his sweet tooth, he thinks it is perfectly acceptable to eat crispy cream donuts at 6:30 AM (As seen in McDoom productions).
