PyranhaTeamTour n endless summer odyssey Our tour this year, organized by Liz Forshaw was to become the most successful Pyranha Team Tour to date. We had a great opportunity to utilise the Pyranha van and have an epic kayaking adventure all over Europe, visiting some of the most popular kayaking destinations. Tooled up with 18 boats, 10 paddles and whole bunch of toys, we cruised down from Pyranha to our first stop, the majestic Val Sesia Valley in Italy, a popular pilgrimage for many avid British white water paddlers. The drive was a familiar one for me, one I had not undergone for some years, and it was good to be back.
