Aaron at Robinhood Watersports is a great guy and will certainly look after you well, he knows his stuff and I've spent hundreds in there without ever feeling as though I've been taken advantage of, which being a beginner is an important thing for me.

I was in exactly the same situation as yourself a few months ago, and ended up purchasing a H3 it does everything I want from it and is comfortable enough if I do want to use it on flat water like Pugney's. The only thing I would say is join a club rather than paying an Instructor at Pugney's, last ...

Definately Adobe Premier, top notch piece of software that has never let me down. Just very expensive. Or take the hint from above.

I'm very happy with the Palm kit I have, except for the switch/sidewinder suit I bought, as soon as I bend at all in water then it drags water in around the waist seal at the back. I emailed them over a week ago to ask for any advice and havn't had a reply back from them yet, the email might not hav...

156.90 from pixmania. I've used them a few times in the past and always had good service.

Im with Stuart on this one, this forum is a great place for people young and old, novice and old-hand alike to chat and gather info from people who may be in a better position to give advice. I think some people need to chill out and leave people to get on with it in whichever way suits them.

I have a hard enough time trying to keep my long thin pointy kayak in a straight line. :o)

Yep Brookbank had one yesterday, flash blue le size l/xl, I was very tempted but just couldn't part with the cash without my wife killing me.

My (ex) Peugot 406 had a great engine and good bodywork. As for a Golf, KevinF may have something to say about that..... I am sure that the air-intake is at the bottom of the engine..... thus driving though big puddles in a golf is a poor idea.... When I said the rest of the car I didn't mean speci...

I was thinking the same, some low life scouse scumbag, then again I married one :o)

She doesn't have the slightest hint of an accent though I hasten to add.

Yes the Hdi engines are pretty good, its just the rest of the car around them that I wouldn't entertain. The vauxhall would be cheap to run but not very reliable. If I had to choose one out of your line up then it would have to be the Mondeo although I'm by no means a fan. My advise would be to look...

It will be either the starter motor or like someone else said a bad earth, it wont be the battery if youve tried another one on it, it also wont be the fuse box as someone said as the car is starting first time off a jump start, and also from an earlier reply jump starting a car from another battery...

I have a Shred Ready and cant fault it, its comfortable, fits nicely and was cheap enough not to break the bank as a first helmet the HOG system is great and really makes a difference to how it feels, but if I was buying another then it would have to be a Sweet aslong as the fitting was as good. No ...

Yep I was going to say exactly the same Aaron, at Robinhood always sorts me out with a good price and excellent service to boot.

Theres loads of stuff out there for us larger paddlers, Ive got a H3 255 and theres loads of room in there for me at 6 foot 1, size 10 feet and a very portly 16 and bit stone. Go to a good shop that has lots in stock and just get in them all.

Didn't even know they did one in pink, I've seen the deep purple one with the flowers on it and I think that looks cool (in a manly sort of way obviously) cough, but I dont think that is a LE one, thought they only did them in Blaze orange, Flash Blue, Monster Green and Black. I've got to agree thou...

£20/12 for an adult/junior membership, £25 for a family. For that you get free use of the clubs equipment, insurance when at the club and on trips etc, and the biggest plus in my book is free tuition towards * awards. The club still charges a small fee for use of the river which it rents and also fe...

I have the Canon 300d (digital) and also the 30 (film) which are both great bodies and have to agree with the comments above about the more you pay for your lenses then the better the results especially if your going to go for L glass (the professional lens choice) but have to say it depends on how ...

Glad to hear you got it back mate

Hope everything goes well for you mate, good luck!

Isn't on of the tell tales serious cramps??? but I would get it checked out all the same, does sound very much like heatstroke though to me as someone also mentioned. Let us know how you get on and hope you're feeling better soon.

You've also got the problem that if for any reason the deck splits or the cag rips then ultimately they both need replacing. You would also need to buy a long sleeved cag and seperate deck for when the weather turns chilly anyway so I cant really see the point myself. The cons out-weigh the pros in ...

You might always be roughly the same size but is the deck always going to be the same size if you swap your boats....Ive never tried one but you know the quality is going to be good if its Palm.

I can sleep easy now, it was driving me mad. :o)

You've got me, I havn't got a clue. I live right on the doorstep of wherever it is but dont recognise it at all. :o(

Yep Premier for me too, excellent bit of software although I did have problems getting it to recognise a canon camcorder through firewire, never worked out the problem but just swapped the tape into a sony cam and it worked fine, you need quite a high end PC to get it to run super smooth though, oth...

I'd have to say RobinHood Watersports 10 minutes off the M1, there selection is top notch, and very friendly to boot. Obviously depends on what route you would take but if I were you then Id be coming down the M1 or A1 anyway.

You have PM

Must be my bad eyes, but all I can see is a dog, granted its a big dog, but a dog all the same

After a stressful time last year at stanstead I wouldnt want to take my boat on one of the shuttle buses, we struggled as a family just with the holiday cases to get them on a packed bus from the car park. Not that I would attempt to get a H3 255 (read: QE2 but heavier) on a bus anyway. I'd go with ...
