Bren Orton When preparing for an expedition to a far away place in challenging conditions – what are the qualities you look for in a fellow team mate kayaker? I like to travel with people that are easy going, motivated and incredibly optimistic. It makes such a difference when shit hits the fan. Humour is also really high up on that list, anyone that can crack a joke in amidst a bad situation is all right by me! Photo: George Younger PADDLERUK 13
