DVD Dudh Kosi

At the beginning of July 1976 a team of ten including six kayakers and a ton of gear squeezed into a Transit mini-bus and drove the 7,500 miles to Kathmandu and then hiked the 180 miles to Everest Base Camp where the melt waters of the Khumbu glacier forms the head-waters of the Dudh Kosi. Here they launched their kayaks and started to Canoe down Everest. Mike Jones, who led the expedition, overcame the incredulity of the sponsors and the television company he approached by force of character and charisma to get them to back the expedition. Once backed the expedition team endured week-long breakdowns on the road overland, snow-blindness and sun burn, leeches and dysentery, high altitude swims and near drowning, but above all paddled some of the hardest white water tackled to date by any of the team. When they arrived back in Kathmandu after six weeks in the Himalaya they still had to drive the whole show back home. Four months after leaving the UK they arrived back in Dover at the beginning of November - the passport-control officer was non-plussed and on handing back the passports remarked Been away long? Oh four months. Well, if youre quick youll make last orders. For the team members, however, it was, variously; a realization of 18 months planning, a life changing experience, a trip of a lifetime. The original Harlech TV film of the 1976 British expedition to kayak down the Dudh Kosi River that flows from Everest was filmed by Leo Dickinson and HTV. It was originally shown in Britain at prime time on Boxing Day 1976. The film went on to win over 50 international awards and was sold for broadcast in more than 25 countries. The original 16mm negative film and also a can of out-takes which were not used on the original film have been transferred to a digital format and the flaws were fixed by the marvels of modern digital technology. This resulting DVD is a crisp, clean, and bright version of the film. BONUS TRACKS.

Manta Ray 12

Liquidlogic is proud to introduce our first sit-on-top kayak, the Manta Ray, a platform for fishing, scuba diving, and snorkeling as well as playing in the surf. Manta Rays, gentle giants of the sea, provided a perfect inspiration for these sit-on-tops. The Manta Ray tracks well while retaining maneuverability and ease of paddling - the rockered hull provides a nice ride up and down waves. Higher volume in the bow allows for a full dry hatch, with the side benefit of being a somewhat drier ride than paddlers may be accustomed to from a sit-on-top. This is also the perfect boat for inland lakes and easy rivers. Whether you are bound for a day of fishing or diving, or simply out to have a surf or paddle in the sun, load up the boat and head for the water. (The Manta Ray is designed to accept a full range of fishing accessories and rod holders). MANTA RAY 12 SPECS: Length: 365cm, Width: 73cm, Weight: 26kg, Max. Cap. 158kg,
