My bad. I should have posted before to say it was sold.

No, it was sold some time ago.

Karitek Easy Load Roof Rack (cross bar mounting). Comes with an extra pair of sliding bars - one pair is fitted with J cradles for 3 kayaks and one pair is fitted with canoe brackets. This makes it very easy to switch between carrying kayaks or a canoe. Good used condition. Collection only from Rugb...

I don't think you are alone Tim. It had about 700 views and 70 watchers. Gone to someone who appreciates it. Funny to think it nearly got burnt in a skip a few years back!

This one went for £206.

It certainly is. In the words of Jack Clarke in "Angmagssalik Round Britain":

So was born the Kayel Angmagssalik Eskimo Kayak, eighteen feet eight inches long, nineteen inches across the beam, with a bow like a sword-fish and the lure of a beauty queen.

The Kayel Angmagssalik made by Aled is currently on ebay.

On eBay staring at £30. Carbon kevlar, very light weight. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nomad-Rapide-II-Wild-Water-Racer-white-water-racing-kayak-/200774464661?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_CanoesKayaks_Rafts_SM&hash=item2ebf173495#ht_842wt_1247 https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-icFocEv8BiI/T9TiKsXBRzI/AAAAAAAA...

Send three and fourpence. We are going to a dance.

The Swan is still there but Pulborough is actually on the River Arun in West Sussex, not the Dorset Avon. The Arun is a great pub paddle and, being entirely tidal, is not plagued by access issues like the Avon.

Thanks for the good wishes guys.

Another distinctive thing about the Khats was that I had identified most of the aluminium tubes with dymo tape according to their descriptions in the manual. I might have done the same with the K1.

The Khats is serial number QFV04005B998 (marked on the deck at the stern). The bow assembly was awaiting repair and is not complete. The boat has a distinctive home-made footrest: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_bbNWy-6cegA/Sqp9X73TNBI/AAAAAAAABLo/4NFDUOJ5BaM/s720/DSC_0069.JPG The boat dates from around 1999 ...

A Feathercraft Khatsalano and a Feathercraft K1 have been stolen from my shed in South London. Both were packed in big black bags. Both boats are Teal (Green)in colour. Also missing is a Klatwa 2-piece greenland paddle. The Khats was well used and not quite complete but the K1 was in good nick. Feat...

I need to replace the antenna on a Uniden Mystic. If anyone has an old broken Mystic with an intact antenna I would love to hear from you.

Disappointing to see Rich Hall paddling as badly as Gryff Rhys-Jones.

The French seem to have come up with just such a combination.

Do tell!

The public has a right to navigate in tidal waters (ie the sea and tidal navigable rivers), and no grant of the soil can interfere with this. They also have ancillary rights, such as anchoring, that are necessary to navigation: Gann v Free Fishers of Whitstable (1865) 11 English Reports 1305. The r...

While some beaches may be privately owned I'm pretty sure seafarers have the right to land anywhere on the coast, privately owned or not, and also to make their way across private land from their landing place to a highway. Unfortunately I can't find chapter and verse on it.

Isn't it about time someone deleted this thread on account of it not being connnected with paddling?

The South East of England has a dire reputation as a paddling location, no doubt deservedly so for those whose interests are white water rivers or spectacular coastal scenery. Perhaps this is why, until now, there has been no guide to paddling in the South East although the area certainly offers ple...

The Beuveland campsite is inland but they have excellent facilities including very good showers etc. and there always seems to be plenty of room.

Lloyds TSB are paying up to 4% on balances between £5k and £7k on their "Vantage" current account. I think £1000 has to be paid in each month but it doesn't have to lie in the account, it can go straight back to where it came from. It is pretty good interest for an instant access account in current ...

Apologies if this has already been mentioned: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/mid/8503542.stm

This access petition only got 65 signatures. Hardly surprising considering how it is drafted.

What do you think - in general - of the idea of a signed petition/letter? Multiple submissions of essentially the same response, or single responses with multiple signatures, will inevitably be treated as a single response. As with the Assembly for Wales Sustainability Committee consultation*, it w...

The document is quite positive about the benefits of canoeing. Perhaps it would be worth making the point that the managed waterways system doesn't provide suitable conditions for many canoeing disciplines and the policy should aim to look at smaller unregulated rivers (and lakes).
