At the end of April I took the long trip down to Holyhead in North Wales to meet up with Nigel Dennis of Sea Kayaking UK, who are kindly offering support for the trip. I got to look around the factory to see how the boats are made, and they are certainly built to a very high quality.
After trying out the boats for size it appears that the Explorer HV is the best suited for my lanky legs!
A big thank you to Nigel for your advice and support and also to Tom from the Wansbeck Paddle Sports Club ( just up the road from me) who was also there when I visited.


I'm still regularly out on the water exercising. Today I was taking part in the Hexham flat water races, for me it was full day of paddling so it really gave me a good workout.
