I am in the beautiful town of Underberg in Natal, for the Drak Challenge, an awesome race on a really fun river. I went tripping with Wayne and Neal today. We had a great time, until Wayne broke his paddle. The last 5km took a bit longer than we thought:)

The race gets underway tomorrow, with about 28km of paddling, and the another 39km on Sunday.

Check out www.drak.co.za for more details and very cool video clips of some of the bigger rapids. Here’s also a link to an article on the women’s preview for the race: http://www.gameplanmedia.co.za/drak/drak0904.html
