:ask: Hi i am new here and just wandered if there are any paddlers on here that fancy meeting up and paddling ??? I have been paddling for 15 years and since all my mates have now started to have kids get married etc i need to find more people to paddle with. If you want some back ground info i have paddled in Norway, Slovenia and more recently Italy which was awsom. In the uk i mainly paddle in wales as i live in wolverhampton (west midlands) in the summer i play boat and in the winter i river run. Just give me a shout if you want to paddle.. :ask:

For rivers and winter paddling i use a dagger nomad but at the min i only have an i3 for play boating. Wolverhampton is about 40 min from coventry depending which part i used to work at the jag plant in whitly and it used to take me an hour. I Dont live far from m54 or j11 m6. If you are interested in meeting up my usual haunt is the tryweryn.

sorry late reply i am not hugely interested in tryweryn unless the water is absolutely stonking down as i do not find it enormousely challenging and exciting run on 10 cumecs and no eddies are particularly suitable for playboating as if it all goes wrong in a whole you seem to be over the next feature before your boats upright and up to speed.

That is fair enough but it depends what kind of paddling you do and how clean you like you water. I make this river challenging if i want or i can just chill. bu i am doing a scotland trip in sept an one again in feb 06 i am also going on a G17 trip on their steeper creeking course in norway so if you are interested in meeting up let me know where you want to meet and i will come to you.

Sorry for not replying earler as i had no access to the internet until today.

Hi, I'm reasonably new to the sport, but I'm looking for some company. I currently live in Carmarthen Bay.

rach id check out some of your local clubs theres several good ones around your area Llandovery Canoe Club meet in the pool on thursday evenings very friendly club, Llandysul have there own club house do alot of slalom and all other types of paddling not sure when they meet up. To the East Tawe paddlers meet up in ystradgynlais pool on fridays and Morriston pool on tues in the summer normally meet up around swansea bay usually the mumbles. to the west HAverford west h ave a cone club aswell your best bet would be to check out
