Joining the canoe world.

I really can’t stand that guy any more. A total self proclaimed expert on every subject, he gets boring after a while.
(Sorry Greg, a little off topic haha)
If you have a Canadian canoe, use it a lot to practice getting proper practice from the recommend videos.
I would really recommend a course if you want to kayak. Eskimo rolls in the wild are not fun.

Really, I can't remember any times that he has claimed to be an expert on anything, let alone everything?
it’s just how he comes across in his videos.. I can tell he’s talented at making things but I struggle with people who jump around from project to project and make “how to” videos on something they’ve only made maybe once before... I’d sooner watch someone who’s an expert at one thing than a jack of all trades but that’s just me.
He was also very rude to me in YouTube comments before as well which hasn’t helped my opinion lol.
No, still waiting. Thought I would wait till march before chasing them up.Is it here yet Greg?
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.
ITS HERE 
Just got to wait for the Welsh government to relax the restrictions now so we can get it on the water.

Brilliant; I bet you've sat in it on the lawn haven't you?
Afraid not.
Our only lawns are at the back of our house and down steps so too much hastle.
Now outfitted the canoe and joined Canoe Wales:-D
Just waiting and hoping for good news on Friday from the Welsh government.

Good-looking boat. What did you decide to do for paddles? Unloading that boat to strike a camp in the middle of nowhere (or very close to it) should give you some peace of mind.
I have only work experience in the bigger 21' Chestnut Freighters. That was enough to put me off recreational use. I think you are starting off in the right direction.

They have announced that from tomorrow you are allowed to exercise outdoors and have replaced the "stay at home" message with stay local. If you live in a rural area as we do, then "local" means within reason. We live in a mountain village in Snowdonia and there are suitable lakes within 10-15 miles.
We are due more gales this weekend, so early next week and we intend on getting the canoe on the water.
Let the journey begin

Well, we took out for our first trip yesterday to Lake Bala.
We were only on the water for about 45 minutes, but all went well. Managed to get the canoe on and off the roofrack without any issues. No problems on the water, and Ali really enjoyed it, so a successful day all round. I took a few snaps to record our first trip. Thought you might be interested.
Cheers Greg
