Did you know that Loudonville was the Canoe Capital of Ohio? Or that Ohio even *had* a canoe capital? This was news to me — and great news, at that, as my husband and I have gotten really into kayaking in the last few years. While my corner of the Buckeye State is home to canoe-able bodies of water such as the Little and Great Miami Rivers, I’m always up for exploring new parts of the state with a paddle in hand. All of this is to say that, if you’ve yet to plan a trip to Loudonville, Ohio, to experience the charm of this small town and its marvelous Mohican River, well, summer is the perfect time to do just that!

Tucked away in north-central Ohio, Loudonville is a town of around 2,800 that’s fondly referred to as the “Heart of Mohican Country” *and* the “Canoe Capital of Ohio.” The reason for these nicknames, of course, is the Mohican River, a principal tributary of the Walhonding River that’s roughly 40 miles long and rife with opportunities for aquatic activity and adventure.

There are several canoe liveries along the Mohican River, and the eponymous Mohican Adventures is certainly the most well-known.

The outfitter offers a robust menu of adventures for water-loving Ohioans: a seven-mile canoe, kayak, or raft trip; a three-mile “lazy river” style tube trip; and an aerial park that’s a veritable “choose-your-own-adventure” in the tree canopies of…

Victorian trainer Neil Dyer is back in the Top End for his 16th consecutive Darwin Cup Carnival.

Kyneton trainer Neil Dyer believes he has two genuine contenders should they start in the $200,000 Darwin Cup (2050m) on August 7.

Dyer has already won NT’s biggest race three times with Hawks Bay (2011, 2012) and Royal Request (2017), and has high hopes for Kaonic and Mohican Heights in this year’s event.

Having already arrived in the Top End for his 16th-straight Darwin Cup Carnival campaign, which starts on July 8, Dyer has three runners at Fannie Bay on Saturday – Hettinger, Latest Bentley and Oliver Bullet.

Kaonic (49:7-2-2), an eight-year-old gelding by Savabeel, finished fourth in the 2021 Cup behind Highly Decorated before coming second behind Playoffs last year.

Mohican Heights (26:5-3-1), a six-year-old gelding by Australia, will make his NT debut this weekend, having started his career in the British Isles before relocating to Australia.

“I was anxious to get Kaonic back here,” Dyer said.

“It’s his third go in the Cup, he ran a good second last year to a good horse – another 50m he probably wins the race.

“He got held up, we were following the favourite Living The Dream and we had to get off its back, get around it and then get going through the pack, so it was a good run.

“I’ve never won the Cup first go, it always takes two or three goes with a horse.

“Hawks Bay and Royal Request needed a couple of goes before they won it.”

On that basis, Mohican Heights, formerly trained by Chris Waller, may find it hard to win the Cup – but he boasts a respectable…

The last of its kind? When Hegel pulled the covers off its Redbook-only Mohican CD player in May 2016, it seemed to be so. A pandemic-induced parts shortage led to the Mohican’s discontinuation in 2022. That, as they say, was the end of that.

But not so fast.

This week, the Norwegians have announced a new CD player called Viking. And Viking is no sail-by refresh. It adopts the Mohican’s plain-Jane looks but has been reworked to better match the outward aesthetic of Hegel’s P30A pre-amplifier and H30A power amplifier. Viking also borrows Mohican’s twin circular compass-point switches. However, everything else has been redone from scratch.

Viking loads CDs via a slot (and not the Mohican’s in-out tray) behind which sit a brand new laser-and-CD drive mechanism and a resampling/upsampling-free AKM 4493SEQ-based D/A converter, both of which are directly controlled by a thoroughly revised Master clock system.

From the press release: “Using a quartz crystal with very low phase noise and our patented SoundEngine technology, the Hegel-designed discrete clock in the Viking reduces jitter to an absolute minimum.” 

The front-panel OLED display is also new – reportedly chosen for its lower levels of electrical noise discharge – and the analogue output stage has been rebuilt from the ground up. The only other nods to the Mohican reside on the back panel where we find balanced XLR outputs, single-ended RCA outputs and a 75 Ohm BNC digital output (and no digital inputs).

Pricing will land at €4995 / US$5000 when the Viking begins shipping in September.
