Good choice. very stable easy paddling kayak. Hope it gives you a lot of pleasure. You could join a club and use their storage.

Not only will I wish you good luck but you have approached the sport the best way. Good instruction can make all the difference in a confident start. Be warned canoeing/kayaking can be adictive.Hope you enjoy it.:canoe:

Day trips to brownsea island needs a kayak unless you get some serious experience under your belt canoing in open water. I have done this trip in a kayak and can recommend it as a great paddle. Do it from Studland in an open but will need to be very careful of wind speeds and tide times. Do it...

Had open canoe for years and yes they will take a huge amount of gear but many of my friends tour with kayaks. They are skilled at taking minimal gear and travelling in relative comfort. I have sold my open canoe in favour of a easky 13 kayak. It has 2 storage hatches which will take a fair...

I am amazed that a simple question not really related to bushcraft should have such a response. Good sense says buy the jimny and flog the caravan. Thanks again for the input.:drive:

Thanks for all the input. Just confirmed what I thought. Will probably stick to the berlingo as the other options are more expensive than I can currently go to. The berlingo is ok without towing but struggles with a 750kg caravan. I just love the look of the jimny and its reputed reliability...

Stay with it and love the Dad you always knew. Ignore the comments and lack of recognition that you see at the moment. The illness makes the comments and not the Dad you knew. He still needs all the love and affection as before but may not be responding in a way that you undersatand. Difficult...

perhaps the loss of humour is weather derived due to too much time on their hands. Roll on spring so we can forget who we are and where we come from and enjoy our craft under whatever name or desguise it comes under. take no offense from this as none intended:):canoe:
