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.

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...

andypagett said: As I understand it, the "jacuzzi pool" is the left hand drop of the main fall, and the "chicken chute" starts higher up, above the small horseshoe drop, goes round through the trees and drops over a small fall to an outlet slightly downstream of the main pool (I have never seen any...

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.

Peter

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.

Peter

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

Dave Bland wrote: Troutbeck. Cumbria. Dave is that North or South Troutbeck you are talking about? We ran them both in one day on full spate a couple of years ago, one of best days paddling I have had in the Lakes and North Troutbeck was definatly the more challanging and entertaining on that day. ...

I was thinking the Middle Findhorn (Logie Bridge to Randolph's Leap). Three divers thoughts there.

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.

Peter

Correct, but I have only ever known it as 'the rocks of solitude'.

Over to you,

Peter

Tim,

The Burne 'dynasty' appear to be well represented with images of you all peppered throughout this this third addition.

Clarky,

Correct river, wrong rapid.

Wrong country.

Early on in my paddling experience ...

River Moriston.

Possibly a Scud if you regard that as a creek boat.

Thats it. I ran it 3 times first time I was there, awesome fun.

Not been kayaking to as many places as Tim, but here's one from a couple of years ago...

Or possibly Morroco...

Tim, Thats your Dad Nic up front in his yellow Mamba, followed bywhat looks like you and then Amie in her red Nomad and your Mum Julia coming up at the rear. Initially I thought it might be somewhere in the Grand Canyon with the colour of the canyon walls and the water, but its looks too small and I...

Chunter,

Very interested, I have emailed you and sent a p.m.

Peter

Lower Mastallone (Bocciolaro to Varallo) the constriction just above the gorge?

Peter

North Esk.

Pattack.

Looking at the image I was thinking the Lower Tees get out river left at Winston Bridge, but if its further north than the Sprint?

I don't think its the Gruinard either, I have run it three or four times and not seen these signs when there.

Is it the Lower Findhorn?

Peter

Its about time we revised this thread again as Dave Bland stated on the 'Iconic' paddlers [part two] thread:

"I thought we'd established in a previous thread that he's a mythical paddler who doesn't actually exist?"

There are plenty of us whom have paddled with Ted Piper...

England - Nic Burne
Scotland - James Fleming
Wales - Open to suggestions...

Come on ladies and gentlemen, there is little water about so your not out paddling unless you are at one of the WW courses, anyone got a clue?

I have been in a short sleeved IR cag with a short sleeved thermal top under it, a pair of IR shorts and my creeking shoes for the last month and will probably be dressed like this for paddling now until the end of September and into October.

Peter

Make a bag with a draw string at one end to close it and tie shut (or get someone to make one for you), tape the paddle to your boat as suggested above, slide them in a tie shut. Has worked well with a playboat and paddle so should work fine with a longer boat too.
