Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I'm fond of the drink so I always take something for an overnighter. Beer is my favourite, but I have drunk wine in emergencies.
What drives me mad is that if Im with others on a sea kayaking trip (especially people who say they dont drink much) - I have to take enough drink for them; because ill have to share it with them anyway -regardless of whether or not I've asked them in advance if I should bring some for them. Otherwise Id be left short of my recommended daily intake. I end up with an overloaded boat and choosing which items to leave behind.

We must have words mate......No puddles do not contain alcohol......You need to add spagnum moss, dandelion and yarrow root to make them alcoholic......The Joker said:Do they not then.............................
Gregorach has rep. Caol Ila is an angel crying on your tongue. Try the single cask 40 year old. Its was a large bonus well spent...once in a life time, drunk watching the sun set over a Norfolk Broad whilst a Kingfisher caught minnows. Shared in reverend silence with a close friend and made all the more special when the night watch (pipistrelles) took over on the hunt. A precious memory amongst many quiet times in the wild.

That sounds like a cue for a song...
"Water is the strong stuff,
It carries whales and ships.
But water is the wrong stuff,
Don't let it past your lips.
It rots your books,
Wets your suits,
Puts aches all in your bones.
Dilute the stuff with whisky,
Aye, or leave it well alone."
It was certainly a special bottling but whose I can't recall. I bought it in Simpkins and James in Leicester (whisky and brandy specialist shop) and it was a 3 figure sum many years ago . The shop is well worth a visit though - the two guys who run it were forever saying to me
"Would you like to try a nip of this 21 yo Talisker" and the like. I mean..do I **** in the woods?
