    No, still waiting. Thought I would wait till march before chasing them up. As a side issue, I will be having an ash tree taken down soon. If you want some timber for paddles then let me know.

    Meindl Bhutan

    We love our Bhutan's. Very comfortable, while still being supportive and waterproof. We had their predecessors Burma's before these for over 10years and covered many miles, so when you break down the cost over their lifespan, they are good value. We just give them the odd coat of nikwax.

    Still waiting for the delivery of my canoe, hoping to get it late January till end of February. Been spending my time getting equipment ready for outfitting it. Have also been in contact with someone regarding some instruction.

    Thanks for the offers of help. It is basic instruction that we will be looking for initially. After that we will see how it goes. I would rather start with good habits from the outset. A meet-up sounds great. It would be nice to see Andy again. Cheers

    Thanks Broch. Will wait till we get a delivery date. I had been keeping my eyes open for a second hand canoe, but their like hens teeth. The only decent ones available seem to command very high prices. In the end got a reasonable deal on a new one. Can't wait:)
