This week Etienne Stott talks about the great part white water paddling and river running has played in the 85 years of British Canoeing. From the early descents of European rivers in the 1940's and 1950's to the explosion of growth in more recent times.

Three great pioneers join the conversation - Suzy Hornby, Roger Huyton and Michael Coyne. There are some great tales of expeditions from the 1970's and 80's. It's a real to joy to listen.
