Banzer,
Maze Beck to High force I take it. This looks like it would be a fun litte adventure, the kind I would be interested in doing with you. How much rain/water is needed for this to be viable to paddle or will it go if water is being released from Cow Green Reservoir?

Re: Replacing ropes with ratchets
You could try replacing the rope with rope a mm or two bigger, this worked for me in a Jackson in the past. Cheap quick and and easy solution that worked.

I have had my damx for 11 years now and still going strong. Always warm and dry, can't fault it.

Re: highest waterfall paddled uk
Some great beck bashing there using the ubiquitous Topo, would any other boat cope with that sort of treatment and abuse?

Re: Steve Backshall in Greenland
I have paddled with Steve in the past, but my wife was definatly not impressed when he seperated himself from the rest of the group in the ever changing ice flow, went against all her safety principles. I have to say that with all that ice curning about and the sub-zero temperatures I would have bee...

Re: Big lad Kayak
What about the large Nomad, a cracking creek boat that cannot be faulted in my humble opinion, that just gets better on bigger and more challanging water

Re: How do you break a boat?
With ease, normally via wear and tear on the water. 3 x Nomad's to date, 1 on in the Findhorn Gorge, 1 on the Hindburn and 1 on the Roeburn. Still I was having loads of fun and as usual pushing myself outside of my confort zone in high water.

I have short legs and could not get one off the shelf to fit either. Had mine 10 years now and still going strong, can't fault it.

Re: Isle of Coll - Advice as holiday destination please
Andrew, Coll is beautiful but regged. The beaches on the island are all accessable but some need a walk in to them from where you park your car, not too far in my opinion, 5 or 10 minute maximum. Some need more time, particularly those at the south end of the island. As said the surf on the west coa...

Re: Low Force
It only really goes at high water levels. Why not try the left hand line 'Jacuzzi Pool' on the main fall, its looks more intimidating than it actually is.

Re: Just for fun........
Right hand fall, centre slightly left, ideally with plenty of speed up and a good boof stroke for a soft landing. £100 should do the trick like Banzer but more would be better.

Small Nomad, you won't get anything better and you will probably pick on up second hand on here.

Re: waterproofing
I do the same as Denzil and also check regularly if any of the screws, knuts or bolts have come loose whilst kayaking, particularly if I have been on runs where I have had bumps or scrapes.
