Anyone have any 3 star touring assessments running who wouldn't mind me coming along for an observation? It would need to be at the weekend as I can't do week days but I am willing to travel so broadly speaking anywhere in the UK is fine.

Re: 210 replacement battery
Another shout for Spares Marine. They were recommended by a guy at McMurdo. Just had my battery replaced about two weeks ago. Posted the PLB to them on Saturday morning. It was back with me by Wednesday evening. Can’t fault them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Re: Four Star Sea Assessment Needed
Thanks. I know about all of these and several others. None are offering assessments on said dates, at least not according to whats published on their websites.

Re: Whitewater paddle feather
My advice would be to try and borrow a set of splits which allow you to vary the angle. Try paddling with them set to different feathers and see what you prefer.

Re: Travel insurance.
Have a look at Direct Line. Bought my winter ski insurance from them. I'm sure, from memory that their insurance covers everything up to G5. Might be worth a look.

Re: Tubular Tape / Sling
Seem to recall that the yellow Palm tape is a 5m tape but the red one is only 4m. Might or might not be a factor which influence purchase. I have the yellow tape. I think it has a breaking strain of about 3MT. On this basis, even if a knot reduced the strength by a third that would still leave a bre...

If anyone finds an orange and black Everest floating down the Dee then I'd be grateful if you could give me a shout. River was fantastic until I missed my roll. Spoke to someone in the town who said he had seen it floating down under the bridge in Llangollen about 10am. Has all my leading gear in it...

Assume by large you mean the 8.6 Mamba rather than the Mamba 8.1 ?
