WITH the heat pushing 35C, the shade from the steep canyon wall is a godsend.
This respite from the sun is made all the more pleasant by the water surging over my feet.
I reach my hands into the river to scoop up as much as I can, and douse my head, then breathe a sigh of relief.
I’m in Jordan’s Wadi al Hasa – a breath-taking canyon stretching 25 miles between the towns of Karak and Tafilah, with views that must be seen to be believed.
We’re 12 miles along the canyon and have another 12 still to go.
