Irish Kayaking Expedition to Pakistan

In May 2001, Ali Donald, Coran Kelly, Cuan McCarrick, Daithí Power, Garry Noonan and Hugh O'Donnell headed to Pakistan. There, we met up with Brian O'Callaghan who worked there for Trocaire and Ken McCarthy who was making a detour in his return from Australia. There wasn't much drink to be had so we did a bit of paddling instead.

Many thanks to The Outdoor Adventure Store, Cascade Designs, Pyrannah Kayaks and Robson Paddles who helped us out along the way.
