Have done a multiday trip on the tees, just doing top, middle and lower sections over 2 days, camping in between. Was low water, so slow going and gave us the right amount of distance for two days.

Snow Kayaking - "Just plain wierd"
The old snow kayaking vid has hit whitelines today, being billing as "Just plain wierd". I think they hit the nail on the head really. http://whitelines.com/videos/wltv/snow-2.html This seriously strange video shows a bunch of wierdos indulging in a spot of Snow Kayaking. Yes, you read that right. I...

Re: Ladakh , Leh
As owen said.
Also, near the start of the tsarap (I assume you're doing it!) we cooked on small wood fires. Don't use too much, the locals depend on it.

Re: Getting ones MOJO back!
Something not too tricky, but big enough to get the feeling works for me - upper tees or the classic kent run.

Re: How can I get paddaling?
If there's one near enough, join another club (as well). If there are suitable people in your current club, ask if you could join their private trips occasionally.

I got to abseil people off the manchester stadium a couple of years ago for the rat race. Good fun and a few goodies were thrown in, well worth doing.

I would suggest not wrapping your boat (I didn't with virgin) as having the cockpit rim to grab makes it easier to baggage handlers.

Just tried to go on to look something up, and it now tries to install spyware on your computer with some scareware tactics - has the registration lapsed and been lost, or has it just been attacked?

There are specific cashpoints that let you use maestro. Might not be best to rely on them solely in case they break, which wouldn't be unheard of.

Re: Zanskar- Jet Airways- do they love kayaks?
Damn, I've been told porkies by someone. It's bit long to explain here, but it involved Yaks, kayaks, jet airways and difficulties in translation.
I managed a small rucksack - the usual hand baggage size, so maybe it's just luck.

Tim, Don't you have a suitable Yak based story to tell here?
Ps. As Owen said - they were great for us, except the 4am transit. Don't believe the 'strict no hand luggage' rule - just don't be excessive.

Re: Carrying knives and the law
No, it is legal to carry any knife as long as you have a good reason to. It might not be the best idea to take your huge saw from a pin kit into the pub as they probably wouldn't see that as having a good reason.

Re: Tees between Winston and Peircebridge
Have done it a couple of times over the last year. Nothing much on there apart from a friendly weir (in the medium levels I've done it in anyway) and some grade 2/3 sections. Floated down most of it sitting on top of my boat last time, and got most of the way before sinking.
