  • For real? I'm only partly serious - I don't have space for one - but I do definitely want to do some kayaking or similar at some point. Maybe take some kayak lessons or something first or just get a big open canoe and I presume you need some kind of license to do like the Thames and stuff? Can you canoe on canal paths? I've only ever used boats in Oz so I have no idea about the rules.

  • I have just abandoned it there with a mate keeping an eye and anyone who wants to take it away can have it. Potentially relevant point - it's quite a slim fit - my 32 inch waist can just about get in.

  • I presume you need some kind of license to do like the Thames and stuff?

    I don't think there is a specific qualification but you need to be 'experienced'. There are recommended courses. https://server1.boatingonthethames.co.uk/Paddling has loads of info.

    Can you canoe on canal paths?

    No, they are too dry. You can in the canal with a small craft licence. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/things-to-do/canoeing-and-kayaking-near-me

  • In all seriousness I'd really like to get these missing tiles. I have 2 old school kayaks and paddles but no splash deck think but that'd probably be safer to be honest.

    I also have a van so could get them to the south coast pretty easily. It'd be sketchy for sure but would be quite an adventure. Also safety in numbers.
