"Hello GoPro"

One of the things about having a friend who is a very keen photographer is that, sometimes, if you are very very lucky they may lend you one of their cameras. With the camera in a large bag I currently have 6 pages of typed instructions, 5 different camera cases, at least 4 different types of mount and a few cables. How many cameras do you know of that need to have their own bouyancy aid? "Hello, GoPro".

These are the photos (and 2 videos) from two days of kayaking with a GoPro in tow (well stuck to the boat). As with all photography we are always striving to do something different - to get a different angle to promote interest.

Descent

A few weekends ago I went to see my first kayaking decent race in Stratford Upon Avon. This descent race was 10 miles long over 6 weirs, in wobbly boats              ( http://youtu.be/3F2A0q2xeGU ). There were a variety of boats taking part in this race, race boats and also plastic boats. Tom managed to finish the race after falling in 5 times and sinking his boat.

Here are some photos from the event

I was amazed the K2 managed to stay upright
