I'm going on Monsieur Laurent's (of Leeds fame) Scotland tour, we'll be in Fort Bill for the evening of the 31st & 1st.
When/where is the Ceilidh? We're a group of 14, mostly students, so it could be fun!
Woop ceilidh!
We could take my car if necessary (I might even have roofracks by then). Although if Macrae does his usual fly-drive thing, the rest of us could just pile into a 12 seater.
ps who is Rik's plus one (is there gossip?! )
I'm still definitely up for it. And I'm a big ceilidh fan ... where else can I accidentally kick small children!!!
Yup, still very much interested :)
Am officially on the fence. =)
Yeah, still interested. I'll do my normal thing of not attending the ceilidh and getting shot at instead. (Thinking about taking fireworks to shoot back this time)
Yes yes yes! Estimated cost?
Rory and I will be commencing beers at around 6 today.
How about a pint or three tomorrow (Tues 18th), before the freshers invade? Who's around?
Anyone round London and up for pints in the next week or so? You can regale me with your adventure stories...
Check out our blog post to see a soon-to-be-eaten guinea pig!
http://paddleperu2012.blogspot.com/2012/07/rio-pozuzo.html
Also some kayaking...
tell me your there now...
Well spotted Rach. Yes, Weds 20th.
If by Tuesday you actually mean Wednesday, I'll probably be there for a bit :-p
Tom and I are going to the union for beers, plus some faffing with outfitting prior to the Alps, tomorrow (Tues 19th), ~6:30. Come along!
Lets do that! we could combine with BBQ at mine (here https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=nw10+5bh&hl=en&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&... ) either as a halfway stop or afterwards...
Hey everyone,
If beach is too much faff/hurley too busy then I'd be up for an afternoon paddle along the canal. Say meet at 12.30 in Paddington? On sunday (tomorrow) that is...
Alby
Beach! can I come?
alas magic seaweed has literally zero surf predicted for the weekend :-( coastal paddle?
the beach! in the minivan!
Im keen but Im abit busy...available all day Sat (till 7/8pmish) or from about 12noon on sunday...
So there's a bunch of us hitting the canal tomorrow (Sat 19th May). 12 of us signed up. meeting 10am at South Kensington stores.
"pootling", "flat water fun", "pub", and "icecream" have all been mentioned. Looking forward to it!
How early in the morning? I'll play
Why not. I can't find levels anywhere on the interwebs, is it definitely going? I'm game.
Bump
Also whats occuring with the Alps? need to sort out time off/ work and other boring distractions from kayaking :P
Anyone still around fancy a pint or two tomorrow (tues 3rd)? Union, 7 or so?

something a bit different but i am mostly posting it because i actually cannot believe how aweful the song is......just incredibly bad

useful for freshers and keen beans alike

t'was me. no idea was the credentials are/were.
Brilliant! I'd completely forgotton about the helmet destruciton on alps 2005 (5 min44sec.)
Not sure who created the profile though, sorry
Chicken-chute, river left.
Alternatively:

Sounds like a plan, I'll probably meet ye there!

I am booking flights/ferries this week. If anyone is interested email me. I see you guys are heading to the hills in the middle of France though so assume most would be going on this. Have fun!
eoinhurst@gmail.com
round about now.
Be in union from 6.30/7ish I expect
I'll be around IC for the afternoon, pretending to work: let me know if/when you want to meet for coffee / beer etc.
Good Job with the trip report Alby (&co). Sounds like an amusing jaunt with some good rivers. I am a little shocking at the names of some of the swimmers though...especially Ally, but I guess it's partially nullified by the "Boss self-rescue!".
P.S. Who are "na cailíní" ?
As promised...this is classic
http://vimeo.com/13831211
Hi guys, I want to thank you for giving us the lifts in your minibus on the dark road to the pub. Hope you enjoyed what little water we did have! I saw some great dancing going on and you seemed to be a hit with the na cailíní ;-)
Hug-a-strainer skillz!
Cool, I'm going to go on Sat as I'm meeting some mates sat night and going for beers, the plan is to not get too leathered and if I suceed I will come on Sunday and meet you there.

Nice little promo reel from Jules Domine, filmed all over the world. Last time I spoke to him he was somewhere in Mexico. Keep an eye on this guy he's pushing pretty hard at the minute. Enjoy.

Cheers Derf you're a legend!! Please put it in stores and I will grab it next week.
Whoa freaky!
Derf knows! Give her a hemail. Also add yourself to the mailing list,I think she sent an email round about it
I have it! give me a ring if you can make it onto campus. Otherwise I'll leave it at stores and you can pick it up whenever.

Most of you saw this at the devon trip but here is the short version of Will and myself's trip to Sri Lanka this summer.
http://vimeo.com/32395293
A longer version will be to follow soon.
If any of you are planning on going to the Gene 17 APWE in devon in a few weeks then Dave Burne will be doing a full presentation of the expedition.

This thread is under used, and I have a horrible feeling that countless hours are being put into constructive study or work rather than wasted on kayaking videos.
So here's some non-Californian paddling I've been watching whilst locked out of my office this morning: http://vimeo.com/31923661
Paraic, you have any sceal from Uganda? What day do you boys usually go for drinks? Mad busy with work but must get back in the pool again soon..
Half 6ish? Bored in work, would like a pint and some eats.
As usual, I shall be getting quietly drunk alone from about 4 o'clock onwards.... unless I'm joined by like-minded paddlers
I felt the need to post this up, because watching kayaking videos is the best way to bunk off at work. That and the track for this video is a tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WabVsBugGQ
Bump.

All the bombflow episodes are rediculous. Just have to get past all the brown claws...

Looks like we hit the gorge at the perfect moment.
From Rob T's reincarnation of the rainchasers site http://rainchasers.com/ which is very cool.
@Hels: don't suppose you know whether you can order onesies from Primark online (or what they're actually called)? I shudder at the thought of *actually* having to trek to Primark to get one...
@Will: Nope. am dedicated to losing until November. Happy to post it over to you though...
whoah derf, can we all stay at ures sunday night, especially if brekkie is provided nom nom!!!
Also does anyone have a spare sleeping bag????
P.S. onesies are COMPULSARY!!!!!!
fair enough, are you coming to a pool session soon? or freshers trip?
That record will probably be smashed... We'll see how it goes! You're welcome to stay at mine, I offer breakfast too- win! Mark- get the fire going and bring a tent just in case... See you all Friday.
Thanks guys.
I can get down on the Friday night and get the fire on if required.
Also happy to sleep in the car or bring the tent if necesssary.
Will be good to catch up and see if I can still remember how to float.
Also, is anybody willing to let me sleep on their sofa on the Sunday night, my train back home from London is on Monday morning.
Cheers
@Will: Bonfire paddle? I'm currently rocking Alpkit's (!) Wedge (for slutty club trips) and Base (for surgical adventures).
@Albakore: Gnaaarrr?!
How many people do we have coming, I think 33 is the record.
Hey, can probs stick it all in the bus. Would be good to see you at the weekend, but be prepared to get cosy as we're pushing the boundaries of how many we can sleep in the hut... Spoon time?! Sticking around for a fresher paddle on the Saturday would be much appreciated. See you then!
There certainly is, pool sessions will be every Tuesday evening in term-time until Easter. See you tomorrow :)
Hey ,
I've seriously been missing my kit since the Scotland trip and so missing lots of boating in the September storms.
Some of you may recall my ahem 'mild' hangover led to my leaving most of my kit in the bus in April. I did text Ally at
the time so hopefully it has been washed, dried and nicely folded and awaiting reunion with it's master.
Anyway, if the rats in store haven't eaten it I would greatly appreciate someone bringing it along to the hut at the weekend so I can
grab it.
Can this be arranged? Pretty please? I will also happily lend a hand guiding freshers if required.
Stuff I left:
One nookie drybag with cag, deck, helmet, BA and various thermals.
2 small black drybags with first aid kit, mini peli type case, mini red dry bag.
various associated bits and pieces, sling, crab, etc.
Also I think my throwline is around the stores somewhere or in joe's Jefe: yak 25m line.
Quite a lot to forget I know. I actually thought others had helped carry to the car and load up and I realised as the bus was making it's get away.
/blush.
Thanking the Bosun in advance.
I will call Ally Cott mid-week and see if he can help.
Hope you all are well.
Mark Wardle.
I'll give you a mount.
Also why does every new post have "new" at the top?
Gaaarrr too slow!
Shotgun!!!!
when can i pick it up.
The question is what are you rocking instead?
No mounts as yet, looking here there doesn't seem to be much concensus as to what is best.
have we got any mounts yet?
also will hopefully get the videocamera on wednesday so can bring that/ the norway footage
Bah! rugby shmugby :-p
Anyone planning on bringing a laptop? I've still got the RCC go-pro, it would be nice to view any footage on saturday night, but the camera itself doesn't have any play back screen.
hmmm yes timing doesn't work out best but perhaps early morning mission if there is water, catch the second half then meet at fresher river?
Met office:
This weekend, it will become increasingly unsettled from the west of the UK, with a spell of wet and windy weather affecting all regions for a time. Brighter, cooler and showery conditions likely to then follow into the north and west later Sunday
Could be potential.....
From the sad face I assume he's talking about some sort of rugby match...
why, is it actually going to rain?
Have you seen it? Our tasty faces are gracing this weeks centrefold...
Ooo pretty, good job!
Does that include the page header/logo?
I must say that the new website is looking awesome though!
beautiful. Will email to Felix asap
I've emailed you.
I set it up, Alex is in charge of running it.
I'm working on it, there will be by freshers trip...
Note 'check spelling' button: we're debating enforcing UKRGB's Rule 1 on here...
