Activities:
I love paddling, what ever type it is freestyle, rivers, slalom, polo, surf and sea kayaking! Paddling takes up all of my life at the moment, when I’m not at Uni. When I finish university this May, I’m looking to travel and paddle as much as I can, I’m planning to return to Norway, and compete in the world cup in Europe in August, then to travel to Nepal in November. When I’m not paddling I love going out on my bike, in my local woods and the moors.
Having narrowly missed out on a place on the British team I aim to improve my skills and get on at the next selection in 2008!
