James,

You always send just the best pictures of your travels and paddling adventures! The river scenery there in Japan, and the technical paddling you are all taking on, is remarkable.
All of the shots were great, especially the time-lapse shot of Ian going down the fall. In the one shot of Ian, smiling at the camera, he reminds me much of our own member 'Cowper', must be that 'impish' grin :)
Thanks always for sharing your trips with us. I still hope you can journey to Arkansas one year to see some of the best we have to offer. Just come in the late Winter/early Spring when we have water. Currently it is 34 C in my back garden, I hope it's cooler in Scotland :D

Best Regards
Jim

Awesome pictures! I have been 4 times myself but never any WW stuff. I remember my first trip throught the mountains and I thought there would be some awesome kayak stuff as we drove next to the rivers. I like the illegal one lol! :lol: :evil: :lol: Almost made CNN headlines.
