This page is for those people who just won’t leave me alone, and have a habit of popping up in my stories. Its recognition of how they have helped me over the years and so that everyone can put a face to a name. So in no particular order other than those who messaged me first:

Nick ‘Boromir’ Boreham (The Author)

Nick has been paddling now for over a decade across multiple disciplines including Marathon, White water and polo. More recently he has taken up WWR and has just qualified as a Level 1 trainee raft guide. Starting off at the humble Basingstoke Canal Canoe Club, he now often paddles with UoNSK, UoNCP and Nottingham kayak club. Other hobbies include ‘that physics degree I’m doing’, a love of music, long walks on the beach and typing about himself in 3rd person.

Matt ‘Big Deal’ Brook

The beater amongst the big deals. Currently taking a year’s hiatus from studying German to work as an LSA and take advantage of weekends and school holidays to throw switch freewheels off any river he can get his filthy RPM on!

Jack Grace

Jack is a turncoat from that ‘silly backwards sport’ of which we don’t speak. Since his enlightening he has started paddling with the infamous UoNSK, become a raft guide at HPP and is now the leading expert in ‘inappropriate hammers’. As booker of the ‘bunk house’ Jack is held solely responsible for the Whitby incident.

Expect this page to grow as time goes on.
