Default UK Sea Kayak Guidebook - updates - 11 March

UKSKGB has just been updated -

"Luxury on Loch Leven" was how the SCA billed their February outing to the
Highlands! Credit Card Kayaking at its best, 25 souls braved the rigours of
Loch Leven, Glencoe, and retreated to the comfort of a local hotel
afterwards.

Thanks to Richard Seaby for some new links relating to weather, wave data
and some good stuff relevant to Southampton waters. Check the Almanac

From the web - you've toyed with the idea of building your own boat? Maybe
even considered one of those "boats in a bag"? Visit Tom Yost's amazing site
showing you how to build your own "boat in a bag". He's also got a superb
section on making a Greenland paddle.

Also from the web, Atlantic Kayak Tours, on the Atlantic coast of the US,
have an excellent range of technical, safety, skill and equipment articles
on their site. And if all that has whetted your appetite and you fancy an
outing, click through and enjoy Chris Duff's circumnavigation of New
Zealand's South Island.


Upcoming events -

» The 2005 West Cornwall Sea Kayak Experience (sea kayak races) will be held
at Penzance on 29 May.

» The 3rd Cornish Sea Kayak Rally 22-29 August. Simple farm camping. Guiding
& tuition available.



Enjoy - Mike.
