A journey down the Grand Canyon of Asia, the Zanskar River. After running this last year solo, it was the perfect expedition for the two of us. So off we went down this amazing canyon for 4 days of river running..
The canyon is absolutely unreal, with the river running its highest for some considerable time we had big waves to hit, a couple of holes to avoid and some interesting boils....
The river was pretty chilly but with the right equipment the temperature of the water becomes bearable! Check out my new Peak UK Creeker suit, toasty!!
With a road well under way (it only has the middle part to go) there is not much time to run this river without the horns of trucks or even trucks that could be falling into the Canyon!!
Rumour has it they want to eventually dam the Zanskar (pretty much like all of their rivers here in India), so now is the time!!!
More to follow........
