Extreme_biker0 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I did my 1 star in Windermere. The only hard thing about it was how b*****d cold it was (easter time, about 1C!) Took my breath away I tell thee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo p Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 if it was kayaking all along why did you put canoeing in the title?what you need for one star (in my book) it to know the difference between the two, so u dont confuse people!

Shaun H Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I did it when I was with scouts ages ago. From what I remember it was a piece of piss although the guy did say I was a "natural" pow powIt's an awesome sport and I really should have made more effort to pursue it, ah well guess it saves me from another expensive sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARSE! Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I used to kyak, got my 3rd star i think lol was ages ago, anyway how much does a kyak cost theese days, i was thinkin of starting again the over day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Brendan you did just the same, yet your boat didnt colapse and crush your legs........Kayaks are coming down in price, but expect to spemd a few hundred on a boat.I dont know what a pocket rocket looks like, but im trying to find a good all rounder boat, as the small stunt boats are usless for paddling any further than 6ft.
