PS Anyone know if the firing range at Dodman Point (South Cornwall) is still in use? I can't find any info about this.
Thanks,

Re: SWSK3
Thanks for all the contributions so far - so useful ideas. Any more updates on 'South West Sea Kayaking' very welcome, as I'm still working on it! I will read up more on Pacific Oysters, that is a new one on me. It's just occurred to me (nothing to do with the book) that the Lynher-Tiddy trip would ...

Hi there. This message is for those who own a copy of my guidebook 'South West Sea Kayaking' - the book has just sold out its most recent print run (just a few copies left on Amazon I think) and I'm working on the third edition. Make my job easier, please - what is out of date? What has changed in t...

Thanks Chris. I'd post a whole lot more about this amazing adventure if folk were interested, but I can see that I have been hugely eclipsed by a query about towing eyes.

Sorry to report that a competitor apparently lost their life in the race today, on the final stage of the 4-day event. No details as yet.

Re: South East Kayak trail- least portage?..
River Thames is (perhaps surprisingly) outstanding, and no portaging necessary
Pub Paddles is excellent, but based around short paddles. To the pub.

Re: Who is the most iconic current paddlers
I briefly met him in Switzerland, a few weeks back. Seemed a nice enough chap, but the main topic of conversation afterwards was whether the shirtless wall of muscle we'd just encountered was actually Ragnar Lothbrok.

Italy/ Switzerland trip 2018
Just returned from a week of boating with a group of fellow out-of-shape and out-of-practice middle-aged friends...here follow a few river notes, that may or may not be of use to folk. Basically our trip was dictated by two things; water levels (i.e. what wasn't too high/ scary) and the fact that we...

I was there last weekend, it is too low now. However it only needs a few hours of heavy rain to be paddleable.

Re: Kaituna Lower Gorges
Splendid. I paddled Awesome Gorge a few times, but not the following section. Back then this was known as 'Gnarly Gorge' and we were told by those who'd been in there that it contained a blind 30-footer and some awful log jams. "Never again", I think one Kiwi said. Is any of that true?

He's a paddler/ guide out there and basically their most experienced paddler. Decent guy. He will either offer to guide you himself or put you onto someone who can.

Re: Access Motion to BC AGM
Can anyone point out something anything specific in the statement which will be different from before? Anything at all?
It also affirms their right to muddle on doing what they were doing before...access agreements, canoe trail etc.
Disappointed. To put it mildly.
