In the Canadian you can sit or kneel David

I will check what the singles Kayak are sit on or sit in?

 

[funflair]

I should have said earlier I think I will be on my own so if anyone wants to come in with me and do all the hard work that would be good

Sadly cant do Martin, it does sound a hoot. Think our mutt would go stir crazy.
Enjoy !!

 

[Polar bear]

Unfortunately won’t be able to do canoe trip.

 

[Oscar]

Can't do the canoe trip - thanks

 

[DavidG58]

By deduction does that mean Canadians are kneeling? It was the very stable bit Bev fancied, but can’t do knees

 

[Bolti]

funflair could you make my reservation for two. Also will we be able to pay by card or do you want cold hard cash?

We would like to do this. It cannot think how to get our kayaks to the start point. Any idea what time setting off on the river would be?

No David, not all Canadians require you to kneel. I would go from seated to kneeling if there was a bit of bumpy water ahead or a tricky bit coming up. Then back to seated when back on smooth water.

Duplicate post.

I might canoe upstream from the showground with my dog and meet Martin et al somewhere - depending on how fast the river is. Unless there has been a lot of rain it should be manageable. I did row it many years ago.

I was thinking that too, as we will take our dog with us. As you say, as long as the flow is not too strong.

You will have no problem going upstream

Hi Mitzimad and others

The single kayaks are, as follows


Hi Martin,

I can answer this one for you... our fleet of single kayaks are Venture Flex 11 sit-in kayaks. These have a large cockpit and are hired without a spraydeck so there is no worry about getting stuck in them.

Like this.

 

[mitzimad]

I should have said earlier I think I will be on my own so if anyone wants to come in with me and do all the hard work that would be good

You can take Gertie

 

[funflair]

For the Canoe/Kayak trip, yes you have the choice but I would suggest if you have no previous experience you take the Canoe option.

List moved to page 1 so i don't loose it


This what we are all signing up for https://hireacanoe.com/experience/montford-bridge-to-shrewsbury-river-severn-canoe-hire/

Except they will pick us up from the showground

I think that will be our plan then, pack a picnic, set off after the group has left in the mini bus and meet you on the river somewhere. Do you know where you are stopping for lunch from past experience, or just keeping your eye out for a suitable spot?

Sounds like a plan last time we did it we stopped in a field on our right about half way, difficult to be more specific though.

 

[Taran_Las]

I'd like to join the canoe trip too Martin. I may have to take up your offer of a place in your canoe as I'll be on my own if that's OK?
