Autorenporträt
Having paddled more than 300 rivers in 23 countries over 40 years Mike Hayward has a habit of seeking out new challenges. He is a keen outdoor adventurer who still explores by river and sea kayak, canoe and mountain bike. Not deterred by standing out from the crowd, he previously published Rivers of Cumbria then widened his horizons, in a series of seemingly more challenging adventures. He has led expeditions around the globe including un-paddled rivers in UK, Nepal and Sikkim. Mike is still an active paddler, utilizing his extensive knowledge, sharing new adventures and inspiring fellow paddlers with his enthusiasm.
