After a few years of sea kayaking only, I’m venturing in to the river scene with my girlfriend, who regularly paddles both and I have a large Pyrhana Burn 3 on order for collection next week. I use cranked carbon Celtic paddles atm, from their Sea Pro range and my logic tells me that if my wrists ar...

Sorted now, thank you !

Thanks Graham, email sent !

OK. Keep me posted.

Compass is still available and I’m back home for a little while if you’re still interested !

Ken.

Cash waiting if the price is right,

Ken.

Popped in to the Durham branch of Cotswold Outdoor on Monday with my girlfriend, looking at clothing and I spotted a McMurdo Fastfind Ranger PLB in their sale cabinet, reduced from £229 to £55. On checking the battery expiry, it was late 2019, but a quick check online showed an official replacement ...

I've used the new app for several paddles over the last week and I like it. I have used it both on 'track only' and on 'alert' both of which have proved very accurate. I did have to increase the sensitivity on 'track only' to constant, rather than every 10 minutes and a warning flashed up on my phon...

A few members of my local club have tried their demo boats and love them. Certainly a future contender for when I start looking to move from plastic.

I recently upgraded to a 14 metre Whetman system which I've only used in a couple of practice sessions. It's quite a large bag, which makes repacking easy, but it's very comfortable to wear and I forget it's there most of the time. It's very well constructed, with quality fittings and as well as the...

Is it generally recommended to stick with Thule when it comes to carriers or do other companies come highly recommended from you guys? I've used Thule bars on my cars for years, for wave skis, bikes, roof boxes etc and always found them to be decent enough quality, however since getting a 'high top...

Being a 'Billy No Mates' most of the time and having a long term shoulder injury, I found the rear shoulder entry on my Typhoon MS4 was increasingly difficult to fasten and open. I bit the bullet last year and bought a waist entry PS330 Extrem, which is a massive improvement for my personal circumst...

No longer required - Thanks !

Anyone got a set of J-Bars lying around and surplus to requirements, ££ waiting.

Ken.

Yes, it's still for sale and apologies for the late reply, but I've been touring & paddling the west coast of Scotland since mid May and only returned home yesterday.
I responded to another forum member via pm late last night and they have first refusal if they ring me today.

Ken.

A wooden stake at each corner and a roll of cheap electric fence tape, rigged up to the car battery ;-)

Sold.... Pending collection.

I found my Scorpio toggles to be the most uncomfortable things on the planet and recently replaced them with a set of Wilderness Systems toggles. I was going to undo the knots in the Scorpio toggles and keep them as emergency spares, but I couldn’t work out how to disassemble them and ended up cutti...

Thanks for the links, I'd need to wear my helmet for that stability ball as I'd undoubtedly end up head butting the tv :-)

Lovely to see in the wild and it looks to have been an excellent day to be on the water.

I'm heading up to the west coast for a bit paddling around Oban in a week's time, fingers crossed for both weather and wildlife !

This compass was supplied new with my kayak in November and other than removing it from its box to photograph it, it has never seen the light of day and is in unused and brand new condition (Slight tear in box lid from when I opened it this morning). I ended up fitting a Silva 70P to the deck recess...

To back up getting on the water as much as possible, can anyone recommend any fitness regimes or good videos to help build paddle fitness, strength and flexibility from the comfort of my own home.

Thanks.

There's currently a new Thresher 155 on EBay at £1500 and a smaller used Thresher 140 at £1100, making mine an excellent catch for a lucky new owner.

Just a bit of ad-hoc training with a few new acquaintances from a local club.

Had an excellent coaching session yesterday at Hartlepool.

My Thresher 'sit on top ' was sometimes difficult to handle and would have benefited from having a rudder fitted.

Is this an option on the Scrambler ?

Great action shots! Looks like miniskirt/t-shirt weather by north east standards, no? :) Apart from the local BBC lunchtime news today, reporting a couple of swimmers at Tynemouth, dressed only in shorts (only a few miles north of where I was freezing my bits off yesterday) I spotted my neighbour h...

That makes sense Douglas, much easier to pick up on a signal mid ocean, or on a deserted coastline.

Similar to the early days of vehicle 'Tracker' systems, that would quickly direct us in to an area of lock up garages, but would leave us to identify which one contained the stolen vehicle.

Maybe with the younger generation, socialising on Newcastle's quayside or the Bigg Market, fortunately I'm older and (sometimes) wiser :-)

A few brave souls (or fools) braved the bitterly cold conditions yesterday morning and managed a bit of surf coaching at Sunderland. It was a fairly short session, but I got a lot from it. https://media.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/uploads/70355/1519709551537-7388.png https://media.ukriversguidebook.co.u...

Bear in mind though its taking them about five months to do that. I applied to register my PLB in June 2017 and only received confirmation of registration late November 2017 along with this note : I do apologise for the longer than anticipated delay, due to changing computing systems, low staffing ...
