If I was to say 'I fancy a trip to Greenland to do some paddling next year'

Any recommendations on where to start? The Almanac refers to 2006 so something a little more up to date would be appreciated.

Or do I just Google it?

Hi,

I've also been out to Greenland on one of Martins trip and had a great time, so much so I'm going back this year. I'm actually going back on the trip Martin Rickard, Mark Tozer and Helen Wilson are running together and really looking forward to it.

I've paddled in West Greenland several times now, always self-guided. It's not all that difficult to arrange, if you have a folding kayak or know where to hire once you get there. I might be able to help, just pm me if you're interested... It's a stunning place.

Many thanks for all the responses. I am just in the process of confirming my booking with Martin for 2013.
Really excited about this, it does look an amazing place to visit.

Good luck to all going there this year, hope you have a good trip and bring back lots of pictures for us to see.
