  • 2012 Sea Kayaking expeditions
      This year many people are heading out for adventures in their sea kayaks. It seems like paddlers are taking on more and more ambitious journeys. Here’s a round up of the current trips I could find. Keirron & George are in the Aleutian islands attempting to kayak the length of the islands. Sandy Robson [...]

  • Round Britain’s, got talent
    Last night was the final of ‘Britains’ got Talent’ on TV. And this year is a bumper year for people kayaking around Britain. I’ve tried to collect together the websites of everyone who is having a go – please let me know if I’ve missed anyone. But first, a note of caution for any circumnavigators [...]

  • Karitek 2nd MidWest Sea kayak Symposium
      Brittle stars, sea slugs & ospreys are some of the friends I made in the beautiful Tayvallich area of Scotland. The people weren’t bad either, & I enjoyed seeing old friends & meeting some new people at Karitek’s 2nd sea kayaking symposium for beginners & improvers. It’s a lovely location for sea kayaking with a beautiful [...]

  • Symposium season
    It’s that time of year again! And it finally felt like it today. The fleece that I have been living in inside and outside the house stayed on the back of my chair today and I spent far too long gazing out of the window at the still, sunny, summery day that beckoned me out [...]

  • Sarah Outen Pacific Row launch day Sunday!
    Sarah Outen is one tough cookie. She’s also a really nice person. She inspires me by what she’s doing and the way she’s going about it. She’s about to set off on a solo 4,000 mile row across the Pacific ocean from Japan in a bid to become the first woman to row non-stop across [...]

  • “Probably the best instructional DVD…”
                      Carlsberg lager and tasty pastries come to mind when I read the latest review of “This is the Roll” DVD. The pastries because the humorous John Herbert from the very popular KayakYak blog was disappointed not to find some instructions on how to make bread! However, [...]

  • “This is the Roll” reviews
    A few more reviews are appearing on “This is the Roll” DVD.…. most comments I’ve seen have been on Facebook which is a very easy way to leave feedback. This has all been really positive – many people are impressed with how thoroughly we have covered the roll, as well as the pace & the filming. [...]

  • Cliff top Paddling
    Today felt like a Summer’s day on Anglesey! I’m still recovering from my bike accident and paddling would hurt my ribs so I went for a walk along the beautiful Anglesey cliffs with Tara & Mark while Barry tried out the Valley Gemini SP (their new sporty short kayak with lots of rocker). Although I [...]

  • First feedback
    The first feedback on “This is the Roll” is appearing on blogs, Facebook and in my ‘inbox’! Here is what people are saying about the new DVD. So happy , So happy, So happy. An awesome DVD showed up in my mailbox yesterday. Have been trying to watch between customers. So far it is the [...]
