While I didn’t make it to the Wet West Paddle Fest this year (sob sob), my friend and fellow ICC’er Dave Stewart took some awesome photos.

You can check them out via the link below…be sure not to miss the dude going down the top fall on the River Moriston upside down!

After a week of feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve, my new (to me) Dagger Nomad has arrived.

Got the air bags in, swimtail knotted, name scribbled inside and the obligatory stickers on the back deck; good to go!

Well, almost. A bit of outffiting and footplate/thigh brace customisation required first.

Well, as they say, out with the old and in with the new…

I felt it was time for a wee redesign of the KayakScotland.net website, and here it is…a few sections still need to be tidied up, but a lot of functions are working more efficiently and you can even post an article to your Facebook page (or other social networking page) at the click of a button!

If you’ve got any suggestions for minor tweaking, or you come across something that doesn’t work as it should, please just let me know.
