30 March 11 - Mountain Club of Zimbabwe
WOW! What an entertaining presentation by an interesting group of adventurers. They tackled a relatively remote, and probably never-before paddled section of the Gairezi river, in inflatable canoes. It must be said that Laurie and his team really did their homework before setting off, so they were well-prepared for what came along.
They covered a stretch of about 60km's, with quite a bit of flat water, and two gorges with lots of rapids. The volume was pretty high (it was December 2010) and they set a pretty good pace.
I will most certainly be leading a kayak trip down all or parts of the same section of river. We'll have a look at the river level next week and see if there's still enough water to do it this season!
Thanks to Laurie and his adventurers for sharing this experience with us through the medium of photographs, videos and Laurie's inimitable style! Hopefully he'll post some material online.
