Any man that introduces himself in a wet Wales car park as "Awesome Dan" has a lot to stand up to and despite his small stature Dan stood head and shoulders above his own description.

Our group had an absolutely cracking weekend on the river, from complete beginners to what the River God himself has deemed as "not shit". Not only is Dan an entertaining and captivating personality to spend the day with but also, and arguably most importantly, a fantastic and incredibly informative teacher. His ability to break technical information down in to easily digestible chunks and tailor it personally to every member of the group makes him a credit to the kayaking world.

We are all undoubtedly excited for our kayaking future but I think I am most excited for the next time it involves Dan which will be happening much sooner rather than later.

Thank you Awesome Dan.
