I bought a kayak at the end of last summer. surprisingly for me I've already had several run ins with welsh water for illegally paddling around talybont reservoir in the brecons! was gonna take it to kerne bridge and sail down the wye to symonds yat yesterday, but got pissed in the garden instead! booked a campsite on the forest of dean/welsh border for next weekend so doing it then instead. by then I reckon I'll be fully competent and will plan a trip to the himalayas to do some of the extreme white water rapids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt wrong with just collecting them, just curious as I nearly went down the road of building arcade machines about 10 years but the legality of it all meant there was no money in it and I'm basically not allowed hobbies that don't at least pay for themselves anymore, (unless you count drinking too much).

Gemmill 44242 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Aye CT is the type to leave his wife in the car while he runs into Aldi to get some milk. Next thing you know she can hear the Jaws music in her head as she watches her husband wearing a kayak like a fucking hat trying to weave between cars on his way back to her. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a river near Pitlochrie called the Garry. I always make juvenile jokes about kayakers getting taken along there.

Very nice No, not yet. The idea only really took hold yesterday following a few YouTube videos. I usually get an idea, YouTube it to fuck, join a relevant Facebook group and then launch myself in. I really just want an inflatable one for ease of use / storage etc that can sit in the boot for various days out and take on holiday. So far I quite like this one. itiwit x100 I am going upto druridge bay to have a bit play in the lake and make sure my arms are up to it. (Herniated disc in the neck).

This really doesn't sound like a good idea CT. Or knowing you you're creating an online alibi for yourself right now, buying some life assurance, and in a few weeks times the headlines will be "Boldon man, missing at sea, last scene on inflatable kayak." Panama hat washed ashore. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
