Moho River, December 2006

Here we are at the take out point at the end of the trip looking just how high the water level was. The day before the water was gushing over this old bridge.

Then it was Caits turn to tackle the same drop and as you can see she was pretty stoked to run this small (20') drop, good job Cait:)

These two pictures show me shooting one of the largest of the drops on the Moho and as you can see I was pretty happy when I managed not to get flung out of the boat, which was no easy task!

These two pictures show our camp, which is the second of the three camps usually used when running the Moho river with our guests. In the second picture you can see Cait preparing a nutritious dinner whilst the rest of the guys talk about the days adventure.

This first picture is of two of the Mayan guides, Pedro (at the front) and Camilio. In the second picture we can just about see Cait at the front of the boat (taking this picture) and our other Mayan guide, Greg, at the rear. These guys are expert paddlers and excellent bush guides.

Here Dave shoots one of the more demanding drops on his own. On these drops we would take turns running the falls whilst the rest of the team stood guard and ready to spring into action.

Here are three of pictures showing the force and beauty of the Moho River.

These first three pictures show Dave and I shooting some of the drops on the Moho, and boy did we have fun!

In December 2006 I travelled to the southern part of Belize with two of my North American Guides, Cait & Dave, and hooked up with three of our Mayan guides, Pedro, Camilio & Greg, to run the incredible Moho River.

This river is usually run over four days but as we were all experienced paddlers we did the trip in just over a day and stopped overnight at the second of our three camp sites. When we started this trip it had been raining hard for a number of days and the water level on the river was very high, which made for a great run. The Moho river is known for its many drops, some up to 20' and also has some sections of rapids up to grade 3/4.

It was an amazing run and one of the highlights of my first season in Belize!
