News Watch

The Playak News Watch continously finds the world"s new paddling headlines. From the huge number of headlines it finds, Playak editors hand-pick and present the best ones (yes, that is very subjective, but they do their best to please our readers) every day, and those that then get the most reader views are sent out in the daily News Flash. Each Friday, we send out the Weekly Digest (instead of the daily News Flash), containing the top headlines of the past 7 days, as well as the most popular videos and forum topics, and a list of upcoming paddling events.

This run is more commonly done as a very long day trip by starting the hike before the sun comes up, but to really enjoy the run I highly recommend doing it as a 2, or even 3-day trip.

Expedition Torngat

Paddling Magazine (Oct 24 2024) - Instinct tells me to turn around. Urgently. The worst-case scenario is a polar bear right behind me, I think, not believing it as I write in my diary by the fire. I look over my shoulder, and two piercingly black eyes in a creamy white face meet mine. For a moment, I wonder if I […] The post Expedition Torngat appeared first on Paddling Magazine.  read more...
