This is a great idea methinks.

Would it be better posted in Dates and Events though?

Extremely sad new, such a tragic loss. Heartfelt condolences to the family at such a very difficult time.

Jax, Rob and CJ

Glyn B who posts on here is also an excellent physio (and paddler!)

Based in Garstang but worth travelling to. Really knows his stuff, gets the job done and a nice guy too! :-)

Hi I'll always look at slalom in a different light now..;-) Hope it...

I'd ask you to explain why but minors peruse this site!! ;-) If you're going to hell there's gonna be a lot of us there with you!!!

Hi to Mrs Peakfreak!!

Sit on top !! Whiplash Disco Dominatrix ERRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMM Mrs Cooper never looks on hear ( thank God ) Steve Hee Hee, I don't think she would be insulted by any of that! I wouldn't! Mrs Husky is also lovely!! Just spreading a bit of love here!!! ;-) How would she describe you Steve? ;-)

How terribly sad. Our thoughts go out to the family.

I DO remember Bob at the Barrage! What a lovely and very remarkable man! Who could forget him??? Totally admire him - when's he free for coaching? ;-) Hope he gets this sorted and if I hear of anything will let you know. What activity or assuming it IS boating, river, is he off doing now that's sick...

Absolute classic Lloyd! You're a braver man than me! ;-) Of course he is!!!!!!! ;-) So come on then Glyn - what is she? Mrs Grumpy is a very, very nice lady I would have to say! My other half?? Much like his creeker - generous and dependable!! With a bit of the ZG thrown in for fun!! Hee Hee, what ...

Hi Guys Does anybody out there know of an insurance company that will cover over 75's for travel and WW boating? Cheers Grumpy PS- It's not for me. Someone told me you were 103 Grumpy!!!! I thought you looked very well on it!! ;-) Hats off to whoever it's for though, hope you get it sorted.

Awwwwwww! Now I've got a lovely picture in my head and gone all fuzzy wuzzy!! Or is that the early whisky due to a hard day? ;-)

Turned 40 :o( I will also turn 40 before the end of the year - not that bad is it? Does your head suddenly explode or something? ;-) ;-) On a happier note I have finally, finally!!! stopped wetting myself every time I approach moving water, just mild terror now ;-) I need to get out more!!! :-)

I laughed too and then - we know that Griff has a sense of humour but does he need support? He's up there taking a huge amount of flack for something we all believe in ... how can we help him? Pete Ball Yep - made me laugh too!! Seconded though Pete. I am sure any support he may need would be very ...

Not sure whether we would be considered deadwood or new wood not progressing as someone said earlier. We (my husband and myself), passed our level one just 14 months ago, however in agreement with some of the posts above, the expense, time and effort, paperwork etc involved in progressing and disill...

As a long-haired female, I have some sympathy. It's not so much getting it wet, it's the chore of having to shampoo out the salt (or, if inland, brownish river water) immediately after paddling. If I want to practise wet exits and other "wet" stuff, I schedule it on a day when my hair needs washing...

Can you fit me in your suitcase Bren?? I'll start dieting now!! ;-)

Niiiiiice!! ;-)

Who is it you paddle with again??? ;-)

Hee Hee,

Will do! Must off to pick the ankle biter up now though! Ok not quite ankle biter at 10, nearer my height but still!!

Speak later and Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Jax

Hi there,

Thanks, PM'd back quickly - I'm at work!! Hope you get it though, seems to be sat in my outbox so not sure if doing it wrong!! Will check back later!!

Hi I know where you are coming from. I'm at the other end of the scale (age wise), because of family commitments and the family only having 1 car I find it very difficult to get out on the rivers like I use to. I paddle 3/4 times a week on flat water and go for a quick 2 hour bash down to the Tees ...

We bought a couple of cheap kids paddling pools, got ours at Tesco but you can get them most places as you're probably aware, cut the bottom out then fed the rings into the boat and blew it up, the ones we used we had to double over but that just fills the space better, boats have both been bounced ...

Anyone out this Sunday anywhere? 2 paddlers, own transit so shuttling and kit carrying no probs, happy to travel to Lakes, Wales etc anywhere within a couple of hours or so. Short on buddies and getting bored with just each other!!!!! Desperate to get out for sum practice and a laugh but also want t...

I think the sticker idea is a really good one, anything that helps us with (pleasant!) communication in any environment is always positive. That design is brilliant Tom-well done! As for this comment: 2) Would you believe them or would you think I was an insensitive fool and all round cad? Yes I'd b...

Thanks for all the advice guys, I bought a greenjacket yesturday! Would love to get out and use it but that's another story-struggling a bit for boating buddies etc at mo!! Anyway, love the fit, great cut for women, I don't feel it's anything like as cumbersome or feels like it's in the way as my pa...

Have they just been unlucky enough to be singled out for blame?? Hope it gets sorted out amicably. George, how you doing?? When can we come and do some damage of our own up there with you??? Having serious withdrawal symptoms due to no-one to paddle above grade 2 with at present. Divorce proceedings...

Bren, have a word with Wilf at Coach20, maybe e-mail or p.m him, we did a WWSR course with him last weekend, he is a level 5 and does seem to be pretty up on things - a brilliant coach too and keen to help. Should be able to advise you. If you want any pupils to practice on do give us a shout ;-) de...

Our son is now 10 and has had a wavesport fuse 35 coming up for a couple of years now and he loves it. Billed as a river running boat with bit of play in it - he's a skinny thing and far too small and light to start chucking it about but padded out it may be something suitable-that's what we did, we...

Sadly it would appear so in many cases. Good luck! And Pickly Lilly - we also decided not to bother renewing the BCU membership. Just wasn't worth it to us.
