Sent a PM.

Thanks guys. No longer in the Pyrenees, must remember to change location. I've contacted the local coastguard so just waiting to hear back from them now. Much appreciated advice.

I have 2 Red Handle Flare Mk. 8 that have an expiry date of 05/11. How and/or where can you safely dispose of these, assuming they would not be reliable to use now?

Check for pm Stuart.

Pm'd you.

Check pm.

Bump... Can't believe I'm struggling to find a large playboat... This is a first 😳😂 Think about it. Most popular playboats are Jacksons, then perm any options from a few others. Jacksons have now gone up in price by 25%....so have Dagger, Liquidlogic (though very rare in playboat world anyway) I gu...

Bad news of this story came my way today grrr

What happened?

Tell you what, last thing I need is another creek boat but if you lived nearby I’d have it in a shot. £200 ? That’s almost giving it away mate. The market must be dead if that doesn’t shift but if my fears are justified re price of new boats going sky high then that’s almost like a future investment...

That's the point I'm making. Are Daggers and Jacksons brought in from America going to be subject to this tax? Wavesport and Pyranha of course are manufactured in the UK so won't be subject to a retaliatory tax. You make a good point though. Some Daggers are made in the UK under licence ( Mamba I gu...

Kayaks, canoes paddles etc will become subject to the EU retaliatory Trump tax. Rumours of kayaks costing £1600 and who knows what else? Could be good short term for the second hand boat sales but disastrous overall. Wavesport and Pyranha should do well locally but Dagger, Jackson, etc etc.

What’s a Digger at heart?

No real answer to it. I've known it happen to two friends' cars on Cumbrian fells. It's not only the Rams, ewes do it too. Farmers should have public liability insurance to cover it but it's never a smooth claim and it would be far better not to have to worry about it. I'd say if there's two cars th...

What's a professional kayak welder? You see a lot of split boats advertised as professionally welded. If fact I don't think you ever see a non-professionally welded boat. So is there a standard qualification or do you just get to call yourself a professional after completing so many repairs. That ca...

This is exactly the tread I was going to start, same interests and same choice of boats. I’ve tried the fusion and the stratos and would lean towards the stratos however prefer the idea of a boat along the dimensions of the Jackson but as said it’s expensive. My local shop in the SW only appears to...

Wine bags. Perfect. Come in combination of sizes, usually 3 or 5 litre. Pack them in to fill as much space as possible.......once empty of course.

If I were to choose one boat from the list it would be the Jackson........but it's expensive! Have you seen this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y1aLHlwerkE So since RG is for rock garden it should be good in.....rock gardens. And since the hull is the same (exact same?) to their Karma unlimited...

Just demo a Nomad Gordon. As you said, they're popular for a reason. Seriously, I spent ten years avoiding it for much the same reasons as yourself then finally paddled one and realised I'd wasted too much time on Hoss/Diesel/Habitat/Diesel 80/Shiva......and loads of others. I'd describe it as a boa...

check you pm.

[quoteI know I've rather hijacked this thread. I apologise.][/quote] Don't apologise Simon, it's just moved onto something more interesting. I'm far more inclined to agree with Clarky's thoughts than your own though I have to say. I think a huge part of the Sickline attraction is the standardised fo...

From Colin C. you change the nose or tail in case of damage. seems a good idea to me. http://www.soulwaterman.com/pages/impactprotection . Agreed, looks a clever idea and he's actually applied for a patent. Corran is doing a lot of complaining about his boats not being allowed in extreme races since...

Burny-Lugs ! Hint, work it out from this !

Just spotted the worst attempt of all time to repair a split nose on what was otherwise a really good boat boat. It did make me wonder why don't more (or any) manufacturers these days offer a double layer up front, maybe with some softer, absorbing sandwich material between inner and outer. It might...

Disagree. Swimming = Type 3 fun. NOT fun at the time, NOT fun looking back on it either.

I 've lost one of my best paddling buddies this week. Tom Petty.......the theme track of so many paddling adventures, especially for 6 years of Alpine action. On the way to the get in it was something upbeat like American Girl, when we were really scared, and we were often enough, it was Freefallin'...

Almost every paddler in the country will give you the same advice. Join a club, even if you're not normally a 'club' person. You'll get to try a variety of boats and you'll get safe coaching until you decide what sort of paddler you want to be.
