Hi, I'm looking for a new Alpine destination for an August holiday. For a few years we've stayed in the Briancon area but fancied a change. Thinking of Austria or Germany but not wedded to those destinations. Looking for somewhere that has scenic and quiet campsites, some challenging road cycling cl...

What condition are they in? Do you have any pictures?

Thanks very much everyone, a wealth of information and advice here. I will start planning!

My wife and I are thinking of spending a week on the Thames, perhaps somewhere near Oxford. We would like to camp somewhere (same place all week), and do some gentle paddling in an open, hopefully involving stopping at pubs and tea-rooms for sustenance. Does anyone have any suitable suggestions, esp...

I am looking to buy an open canoe, and will need to transport it on top of my T4 (LWB). What are people's recommendations regarding roof bars/racks? Thanks, Steve. (Also posted in the Canoe section.)

The Gyr, late afternoon on a baking hot day, about a foot higher than I had paddled it before. Followed by beers at the Bar Alphand at the finish to try and quell the adrenaline shakes! Same here for me. On the first day of our trip late afternoon, same week as you, my first run down the Gyr follow...

Correction:
UKCC L2 + AWE Advanced Water Coach

So as a BCU L2 kayak coach who would like to do the AWE, I will need to become a UKCC L2 (upgrade module plus new 2 star?)?

Are you still looking? I am about to sell my XL IR drysuit. It's in very good condition; I've had it a couple of years. but only used on a few river trips.

I only asked if the shuttle bus was still running, as a previous post by Adam Box stated that its future running was in jeopardy.

I wondered about the minibus shuttle organised by the BCU. We may pop down on a Saturday soon, but there will only be two of us and one vehicle.

What is the latest on the operation of the shuttle minibus this season?

My son is selling his white with Orange flames Liquidlogic Jefe. It is fitted with the Badass outfittings. The boat has been well used, but has only the usual scratches on it. The only significant one is a small gouge out of the nose of the boat, not serious. Pictures available if wanted. Looking fo...

After another success trip to the French Alps in the Haute Alpes region, we are looking to start organising next year's trip. This year we went the first week in July and enjoyed great levels, we normally go the last week in June. Unfortunately one of our group's wife has booked a week away with her...

I don't know what that joint is, Cosmic, but if it's the one I have trouble with somewhere in the region of where your spine joins your pelvis, then my friend who is a physio gave me a good cure that my missus can now effect. It involves me lying on my back and pulling my knee up to my chest, and th...

The Jackson boats have different outfitting depending upon the plastic. The Superlinear have the happy feet and sweet cheeks, the linear have a foam footrest and traditional seat padding.

Hi Chas, Yes good to catch up again, very enjoyable session in the sunshine. Not quite as warm as France! Thanks for the suggestion. I've found a useful map, and the trip you suggested looks really good. Here's the map for anyone who's interested: http://www.riverweynavigations.co.uk/stores/weynav.j...

A friend and myself are planning a short open canoe trip with our wives on the Wey (or Godalming) navigation in a couple of weeks. We're looking for a scenic trip of 2-3 hours with a pub or tearoom in the middle. We would prefer to start and finish in the same place, but not against an A to B trip i...
