With the winter season drawing to a close and the spring melt approaching, the lucky few who escaped to the southern hemisphere are sharing their videos and stories. Here are a couple up of my favourites from the last few months.

British Paddler Nigel Markey put together this edit of his christmas trip to Chile. In my opinion on of the best edits of 2012. His blog is also available.

2011 British University Kayak Expedition team member Robbert Moffat has a really well put together blog covering a good portion of South America from the expedition in Venezuela, travels through Peru and joining other boaters in Chile.

Ben McKeown blogging on his adventures in NZ. This trip to the Landsborough river gives a great feel for the whole adventure of the place. Also the two part Waiatoto Adventure is well worth a look. Part 1 and Part 2.
