Kayaking Rapids explores the thrilling world of whitewater kayaking, blending adventure with the science behind river dynamics. It explains how understanding the forces of water, from laminar flow to turbulent eddies, is key to safely navigating rapids. Intriguingly, the book reveals how expert kayakers use this knowledge, combined with paddling techniques, to harness the river's power. The book’s unique approach lies in its integration of fluid dynamics and practical skills, emphasizing that responsible whitewater kayaking is about more than just seeking thrills; it's about informed engagement with nature. Starting with fundamental concepts of river features, the book progresses through essential kayaking maneuvers, safety protocols, rescue techniques, and real river scenarios, culminating in advanced paddling techniques.

    Mike Timms has always been a wanderer – into the bundu ('back of beyond') as a child in 1950s Kenya, around Dublin during his college years and along pilgrim paths in Wicklow and southern France as he approached the end of his working life. He has never felt lost or alone, holding a faith in moving forward, one step at a time and finding a peace – and sometimes reverence – in the quiet.
    So upon retirement, he embarked on his first Camino, setting out on foot just north of Carcassonne in France in the direction of Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. He walked as a true pilgrim, with the scallop shell hanging around his neck, his pilgrim passport in his pocket and no guarantee of a bed in the albergues along the Way. Falling in and out of step with fellow walkers, he learned to trust them and to see the unexpected – injury, fatigue, detour and the generosity of strangers – as blessings in disguise.
    With immediate and assured writing, Mike Timms takes us on a mindful journey as he moves through this ancient landscape, attuned to the histories, traditions and beliefs that have gone before him. To Walk the Way is his gently transporting account of taking part in them in his own unique way.
