And it looks as if you must collect on Wednesday 20 Feb so you might need to take time off work. This doesn't look like the way to maximise sale prices.

Proposal 5

Wasn't the Gambler an Eskimo boat or did Prijon make it as well?

The guide includes from the copper mine down.

I saw a GoPro of the Fairy Glen the other day. I could absolutely do that in my trad canoe. Every now and they there was a glimpse looking back upstream which looked a bit challenging but then I'm not going that way.

Off-topic Actually Jim, I am a poor example for this stuff. I have a badly damaged right arm so my forearm doesn't swivel nor my wrist bend as much as it should. Using chopsticks is really awkward since they go in sideways rather than point first, really makes my wrist ache. Note to self, investigat...

The correct one. :-)

Probably the least excusable quirk! *

I recall a friend broke an ankle here so maybe a bit more money than that for the off-work.

Ah! If only!

You North American continentals, I really don't know. :-)

I agree that the word 'believe' can appear equivocal and certainly in terms of faith but I really don't think the 'strong case to demonstrate looks better. It sounds as like the opposing viewpoint in a legal argument. I feel it needs something more positive and that is my point. Many paddlers have b...

My preferred wording:


"British Canoeing believes there is an existing right to navigation on rivers"

However, if it were subject to European law........

We'd be paying the anglers several billion pounds for us to stay off the rivers.

I'm impressed with the intention, but worried about the practicality. If this does eventually go to Parliament through a private member's bill, you can bet your bottom dollar that the compromise will end up that riparian owners will be able to limit access at certain times in a way that leaves us n...

Excellent post TinyPaddler.

have had a "double digits" rule for several years now.

I assume that's double digit C not double digit F

And just to reinforce Simon's point, the tenants are at liberty to charge whatever they like; if they chose to charge £50 per day, my guess is they wouldn't get any customers and would go out of business, people on this forum would complain bitterly but that would be just tough. Market forces dictat...

To my knowledge, access to car parks is implicit by their nature (unless stated otherwise).

I would be interested to understand your legal basis for this.

Sorry, should have said 'gender'.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all members of the public can enter/exit the car park using the implied right of access. The 'land owner' has the right to withdraw the implied right of access, but must do so clearly and in advance. I might be a bit rusty, but I think I know a little about land ...

I think for the average drysuit, you get quite a well engineered product, sure there are some cheap alternatives available but if you consider the 'normal' Palm, Peak, Nookie, IR, you cannot get much under about £500. If you go to separates, you can select from cheaper alternatives within the produc...

It wasn't so very long ago that the 'normal' combination was a long-john wetsuit and a dry cag and everyone put up with that. Not so great for canoeists with legs exposed to the elements so we usually used dry trousers. Indeed, if you saw the Shaun Baker video posted a couple of days ago, you would ...

Thanks for taking this up Dave, very useful.

or want/need to get them to the bank sooner than 15m downstream (next fall or something...)

I have my ropes marked off at 5m intervals so I can dump a length and still have a good idea as to how much is left in the bag

Well, it shut down quickly!

Any use?

Would it be the Findhorn above Dulsie?

I can confirm that the breathable section does not last as long as the rest. Mine started leaking through the fabric during an AWWSR

I'm struggling to remember the issue but I am sure I wrote to them once about how rivers were denoted on maps and I got a very detailed explanation with all the logic behind it. Probably best looking in contacts or just to customer services.
