    Flint and steel woes

    These are steels I made from old files; Most of them work no bother but the odd one wasn't tempered quite right! My flint is all collected either from fields or else the beach then broken down into useable bits. I never have any issues with the flint it's always the steel that seems to be...

    Canoe touring advice needed.

    Would have helped to know you're already fully bombed up paddling and outdoors wise. :) So you're literally just looking for parking/put ins-take outs? :D Well with your previous experience, you almost certainly already know more locations than I do for the sort of trip you mention, so once...

    Canoe touring advice needed.

    Ah right then so a proper canoe. if you've never had any, I'd strongly advise getting some proffesional coaching. I paddled for a couple of years a bit like too many people, just making it up as I went along and that sort of worked but I never really felt confident deep down. Then I hit lucky...

    Canoe touring advice needed.

    What are you paddling? You mention "canoe" but sometimes people confuse the actual type of craft and that can make a big difference, so is it a canoe , kayak, inflatable, sit on top? Are you looking for overnight parking, or will you be dropped off/picked up? SOTP is definitely a good bet for...

    Go With Noakes End Tune????

    Well, I tried contacting the BBC and as of today have not had any response. You'd think they could at least acknowledge your enquiry but............ However, last night . on returning from 14 hours of factory toil, I logged on and there was an email from song of the paddle, saying that a member...

    Go With Noakes End Tune????

    Well I tried emailing the band and for some reason they wouldn't accept my email! I also looked at the "messenger" box thing but that turned out to be facebook and I don't do facebook. So still hoping someone can come up with the title! Cheers Steve

    Go With Noakes End Tune????

    I know that many of the members here will have no idea who John Noakes was, however I'm hoping that some of the older folk might be able to help me with finding the title of the end tune from his "Go With Noakes" series of truly excellent and inspiring programs back in the 80's. The opening...

    Day Out 1st paddling trip this year

    I haven't paddled for about a year, concentrating exclusively on cardiac rehab on my bike, so with 5000 miles in the saddle since April 2017, I decided it was time I got back on the water. First off; I checked out both my boats in the garden. They were, as expected, both still like new. I...

    Steel strikers, bought, for flint & steel

    John's file strike-a-lights work really well, I've got a couple in my kit. I'm also the very proud owner of a couple of classic forged strike-a-lights made by the late Mike Ameling which are excellent!. Me being me, I went through a phase of collecting old files from car boot sales and turning...

    Any Gumotex Solar 410 C owners on here?

    I think this is one of the missing videos above? I've been spending a lot of time on my bike over the last two and a half years ( 4900 miles so far) and it's time I got back on the water again.

    Trying to get rid of a Wenonah Jensen 18 canoe

    It'll cost you £5 to join song of the paddle (or it did last time I coughed up my subs) and I've sold every boat I've owned (apart from my two current ones) and bought a couple of them too on there. ( Err...I think it's 5 canadians and a sit on top so far) Do some research and don't under price...
