Peak UK himalayan challenge

So went up to the bhote kosi again for the peak UK Himalayan challenge on the 17th –19th of November. There were three events, slalom, freestyle through the rapid, and a downriver race. All three events had to be done in the same boat. There were two men’s categories- Nepalese men’s and men’s international. We actually missed the first event, which was the slalom on the Saturday because my wallet was stolen the night before, fun and games. But all was good and we made it to the freestyle through the rapid on the Sunday. The rapid had five features, which had to be used during your run and it was actually quite fair even for people in big boats. I ended up coming third, which was pretty cool. Reckon it was down to my kickflips over one of the main waves, which were scoring really high. There was a cool beach party by the river on the Saturday night that went on pretty late. Sunday saw the downriver race- 8kms of grade three, with a bit of easy four, and everybody racing together. I came in third but placed second in men’s international. So overall the competition was pretty cool, it was good craic and the paddling was great fun. Big up to Pete for organizing it, it was a great event.
