We would all be heading for the Day One start of the @N3Route Drak Challenge now! The river is full, the weather is good, but our valley is quiet. We hope you will join us today to start looking forward to the 2022 Drak! Stay safe. #N3TCDrak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

Its the end of the first week of 2021. Like these guys, we like to deal with challenges head-on. Have you entered the Drak yet? What? Giddy-up! drak.co.za/enter/ @N3Route #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

It doesn't always go according to plan. But if you do come unstuck on the Drak the long walk to the finish will be scenic. And you can borrow the MTB single track! #LovePaddling @N3Route #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

In a few weeks time we will be lining up for the Le Mans start of Day One!! Dave Barnett ready to fire the shot to start each batch. Have you entered yet?? #LovePaddling @N3Route #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

River management. Always leave space between yourselves and the muppets in front of you when you head into a rocky rapid. Convince yourself that this makes sense if you are being dropped! #LovePaddling @N3Route #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

Yes we have been talking about #LovePaddling this year, but is this taking it a bit too far? 🤔🤔 #LovePaddling @N3Route #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

Great boat choice makes for a great Drak! Speed comes from stability and maneuverability. Trust a proper Trout like Gary! Good luck for the Kayak Craft K1 lucky draw!! #LovePaddling @N3Route #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥂 Time to set those resolutions for 2021 so you can approach whatever challenges on the river ahead with refreshed confidence and energy. #LovePaddling @N3Route #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend

#FastDrak is won by @Hank_McGregor - his third win at the one-day Drak. Does that mean he can come back and win a fourth @N3Route @DrakChallenge at the end of January? Read drak.co.za/2020/12/31/surpri… #Drak2021 #FNBDrakAdventureWeekend
