| Looking out over a beautiful Italian Valley |
The last 3 weeks since our adventures
at Area 47 have been a very exciting non stop tour of some of the
best whitewater in Europe. After tiring ourselves out on the ramp we
spent a few more days in Austria. The levels were high so we got come
high water runs down some classic rivers and had the chance to surf a
great river wave at Silz. We also had chance to head into the
mountains with Arnd and the New Zealanders Matt and Lydia to try out
some downhill biking.

Then it was time to head west in search
of sun. First stop was Italy for an awesome pizza to celebrate Den
passing his degree and some more river action. We were a little late
in the season so levels were super low so we just had a quick surf on
a funky little wave before heading out to France. France as always
was beautiful. Super hot and full of Brits. We meet up with loads of
friends and paddled some more classic runs.

The best part of the last few weeks
though was the Mountain Biking. I have never really done proper
downhill before so it was super exciting jumping in a cable car to
the top of a beautiful mountain and then blasting down the specially
designed tracks. Combing biking and boating was perfect and biking at
the Crank Works Festival before throwing ourselves of the funnel
waterfalls was the perfect end to our Europe trip.
