World champ Andy Birkett enters Push And Pull Paddle

As entries poured in ahead of the deadline on Thursday, marathon canoeing world champion Andy Birkett and his wife Nikki have entered the Bamboo Warehouse Push And Pull Paddle on the Berg River from August 9-11.

He added that the event is in line with a major new trend towards shorter events that take into account recreational athletes looking for a complete lifestyle package at races. “We have only been camping together once before as a family, and it didn’t go all that well. I ended up sleeping the night in a camp chair.” said Birkett.
