Kayaker raises eyebrows as he takes to flood waters

GB Kayak Team member Sam Anderson raised eyebrows when he took to the flood waters on the Exe this morning.

He was filmed by a TV crew battling against the torrent of water at about 8am.

When asked if what he was doing was irresponsible he said: "I've been doing this for 10 years and never got into trouble or needed the emergency services. I know what I'm doing and didn't see too much danger."

Anderson is the current British National Champion.
