Pic? Shouldn't be too big a job to fix them depending how bad the damage is. Have a search for composite repairs on the sea kayaking bit for some instructions.

Pics of the IR deck... £30 on it's own. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10671393_10100944667421322_4732428572499672470_n.jpg?oh=0e76c031021a4fb620feaa9c5ca0014b&oe=54877B36&__gda__=1419234659_90e3613de56759a0e4274bf0cbc0b3ec https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...

Plenty of other options available in Nepal too, pasta + soup mix isn't much bulkier than rice and makes a good change, the foil packed tuna in oily sauce is pretty good and noodles are cheap and available everywhere if not so filling. Baby food is cheaper than oats over there. It's got loads of calo...

3 year old, but still pretty dry Palm Torrent drysuit size L - £150 This is the 2nd generation one, dark blue all over. All original seals still intact, neck is now slightly loose, will probably want replacing in the next year or so but ok for now, zip still works fine, socks leak a tiny bit, but th...

Sorry, the previous owner doesn't know the model either. As a guess I'd say you might be a touch on the heavy side for it? Previous owner was probably a wee bit lighter than me. I'm about 5'9 and footrests will now fit someone a bit taller and shorter than me. Just remembered I have a brand new Imme...

3.5m, don't think it's that old. Not sure on model, will ask someone and get back to you.

Looks like the Raptor is sold.

Sorry, if I don't get the £150 I'll probably just keep them as spares

Also some other gear for sale here.

Also a couple of boats for sale here.

197cm glass Werner Sherpas, 45degree, right handed. Bought in Norway because I broke/lost all my other paddles. Used for less than 2 weeks, really good nick. £150. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10653708_10100937203853372_7994987624612557899_n.jpg?oh=bf6f0bd04eeb64f9...

Zet Raptor - only 3 months old, pretty good nick except for weld on one side. This was caused by hitting a sharp rock fast and puncturing the side, definitely not because the boat is on it's way out. I've welded lots of boats before, and am pretty confident this is really solid. It's lasted a month ...

Aside from that, anyone else really excited to see the rest of the event? I think the format and concept of the whole event is class! Some of the footage from the first one in Quebec was incredible, hoping for more of the same. Or even more impressive, though it looks like they might not have quite ...

Anyone remember that photo of Dane throwing a massive airscrew on the Nile when he was about 11? I don't know much about big wave freestyle but find it hard to believe sheer strength is the limiting factor. There's a few top lady playboaters not there. There's only 7 ladies to 25 men. Half of the me...

S Tyne will go (ish) from well above 500m too.

Anyone ever been to look at Black Burn, Cash Burn and Shield Water?

I've put on Killhope Burn a lot higher than that - about 530m I reckon. Where the road gets steep above the leadmining centre. Tees starts a lot higher than that if it's wet enough and you like walking. There are roads up there if you could get permission. No rapids that really look worth the effort...

I'm not sure there is a lip at the bottom that is forming that wave. If there is I didn't feel anything the other day at low/med levels. I reckon it'll be fine at most normal levels that the section gets run at.

It looked like lots of work had been done on the road down from Ramnaghat when I was there last November. We paddled down to Devisthal anyway as there were no buses running because of a strike. Has everyone seen this film of the 1st descent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdWngZT791w ? Came across ...

The road to Devisthal (and beyond) is now really very good.

Yep all done now - looks like it's going to be fine at most normal water levels. Slide with green wave at the bottom right and left, fish pass a bit like the one at Chollerford on the Tyne centre left and just to the right of that a deeper chute with a walled in sticky looking hole at the bottom (pr...

Main class is for boats up to nine feet long, so I'm already in the minority "long boat" category. Liking the effort you're going to to try and get it under 9 feet though! Maybe do the other end too? Are you allowed to enter in a modified boat? Yes! Regretting doing this to my old Mirage now, that ...

Don't know what everyone does to fabric socks to make them leak so badly. They were the very last thing to go on my 4 year old Typhoon suit - pretty much everything else on the suit had fallen apart and I ended up cutting holes in the socks to drain the water out when the zip blew open. They're just...

From my house I can walk 500m, paddle 6km on the Browney, 8km on the Wear and then walk less than 1km home.

Interesting. I think your formula needs some further testing though, what sort of chances of line success would you give this run of Triple Step? https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/407144_563682816988358_1667389086_n.jpg If the formula doesn't work, I'm sure you can remember it p...

My tips from the last couple of weeks. Don't plan a trip to Nepal during a nationwide strike and general election when all the roads are closed and the buses aren't running. Definitely don't book your flight home for the day of the election. It might also not be a good idea to go and do the Thuli Bh...

If your passenger doesn't mind sitting behind you (assuming 1 passenger if 2 boats) you can get 2 playboats in something Clio/Fiesta/Corsa sized as long as the front seat goes all the way back.

I'm flying out on the 3rd November but also going to be struggling for weight unless I end up not taking a boat.

Sent you a pm.
Rory

Sometimes trips where you walk as far as you paddle are worth it...
