Injusuthi River – Mini Epic

The scene was set. Luke Longridge, Dave Joyce and I would be heading down to the Thrombi X-Fest armed with three green Fluid Solo’s; one large, one medium and one small. Our mission would take us first to the Injusuthi River, then the following day to either the Waterfall Section on the Umzimkulu or, water permitting, the Polela and finally then the X-Fest at Thrombosis Gorge itself. It was assured to be a super duper weekend and water levels were predicted to be up.

Umkomazana – An Unusual Run

The Umkomazana is a river that you probably have never heard of. Perhaps you’ve read about it in the book Run the Rivers of Southern Africa or perhaps you’ve only heard of someone else running it, but chances are you know little about it and even after the reading the description you may be tempted to go in search elsewhere for more action. Mike and I decided to try this little river and even though the water level was very low we still had a great time and saw a lot of different types of birds and other wildlife.
