Anyone go Kayaking or Canoeing

[gasman]

I always had a soft spot for any form of water-sport and regularly take a Canadian canoe down the river Wye in Hereford for a canoe/camp trip with the kids. Just recently purchased a few Kayaks including one of those whitewater play boat's.
Does anyone else enjoy this sport or is it just me

Good stuff mt get out there, trouble is down here there's no water in the rivers do me and the kids did a mere where we arsed about rolling and what not. We then drove on to Chester and ran the river Dee for about 12 miles, great fun except for the swans lol. Grumpy gits

Absolute quality idea mate and if the weathers with you then it can be make for some fantastic time's. Just keep an eye on the river levels and make sure to have buoyancy aids and a throw rope in case some gets in lumber.

I am out this weekend arsing about on the burrs in Bury with my lad and our playboats. We will be shooting the wier and running a small patch of whitewater on the River Irwell. If anyone else is about give us a shout there will be four of us and 2 are very experienced paddlers.
Happy days
