Blackfly (midge) free until the second week of May, they peter out (sort of) second week of June to be replaced with mosquitos, deer flies, and the really scary moose flies come out in July. However if it cools down (like it does evey night) the midges come back

Any others interested in this trip, just a reminder that woody needs interested parties by the 10th of this month....

Sounds a good value trip, a full week paddling in Nova Scotia, Canada...

Flights seem to be just over £300 mark...

A once in a lifetime opportunity ( well until the next one anyway)

"Flights seem to be just over £300 mark..."
I find them at £398 return, Heathrow to Halifax each Thursday.
It's always nice to save money though, should you have found them cheaper!
When I say I'm interested, what I mean is I actually will go if this trip is still on in May/June.
If it's postponed then, personally, I'd prefer to do it same time next year as opposed to later this year. (that's preferential mind, not set in stone )
It's a daylight/mozzy/moosefly/weather type of reasoning. Just my 2 pence worth.

Cheers.

Ok, we're closing this one down and we'll reschedule it, thanks to those of you that showed an interest
