Doug has been hailed as "one of America's most famous white water paddlers - known for his outrageous solo descents of Class V+ and VI runs and especially of the Grand Canyon of the Stikine. Doug is an award winning writer and photographer and perhaps the most articulate and inspiring paddler in the world today."
His series of talks starts in the broadest terms and funnels into one of the most challenging and beautiful places in the world, the Grand Canyon of the Stikine.
His two books, Laugh Of The Water Nymph, and Whitewater Philosophy will be on sale on the night.
He will also be donating all proceeds from his talks to a Nepalese charity which he has supported for the last fifteen years.
