Hiya,
One of my dreams for a long time now has involved a canoeing/wild camping trip.
I recognise its still a bit of a way off, as I dont have the canoeing gear or the moeny to get it right away, but I want to start planning how I can get myself started.
The only experience I have is a kayaking day when I was in my teens (so quite a time ago now sadly!) so I have the following questions (although I am sure there are plenty of things I have not thought about);
- Apart from the canoe, paddle, and I assume lifevest, what else do I need kit wise?
- Having no experience, I'm thinking it might be best to join a local club and have a go there. You never know, I might get seasick! lol
- What are the laws regarding canoeing on UK rivers? Are there private stretches, or is it just the banks that will be private?
All advice much appreciated.
