  The strapline says it all 'Adventures with Kayaks'. Captivating accounts of potential epics, Mike shares his often entertaining personal thoughts on his experiences and predicaments in which he finds himself. His travels take him around the globe, in constant search of new whitewater. He describes the trials and tribulations of some dramatic journeys, recounting experiences deep inside river gorges both when the way out is down and sometimes up vertical! I can recognize the adventures we have shared together and the quality of the recall and detail in the scenes make for an informative and inspirational account accompanied by photographs that have captured the moment.
  
  In amongst the adventure is a light-hearted theory about the existence of scrimblies to which incidents can be credited, Mike's style of writing here is even poetic! He puts his own spin on the river grading system and has a thought-provoking approach to decision-making prior to running a rapid, aimed at all paddlers. His open and honest account of his feelings adds a personal touch. Transport issues and dilemmas, often in countries where communication is limited or non-existent, together with details of epic descents you just do not want to repeat, make this a read you do not want to miss.
