Following on from a thread by Rancid Badger, and having just tried open canoing for the first time, I was wondering what would be a reasonable kit to start with for a solo paddler, and how much I can expect to spend ( ignoring the occassional spectacular bargains that some people find)
I'm thinking :
A canoe (what sort for a newbie solo paddler?, two up? etc)
A roofrack to carry it with
a PFD (what to look for? standards etc)
a paddle...
and a sense of humour
anything else?
