Many of you will know I have been diagnosed as having Parkinsons. Sadly, this means that I am increasingly uncomfortable sitting in a canoe or a kayak so I have realised that, after 58 years of thoroughly enjoying my paddling, the time has come where I need to stop.
This means that all my extensive collection of boats and associated kit needs to find new homes where it can be enjoyed so, here goes with a series of adverts. I am advertising to ECC members first, in the hope that I can encourage some of you to progress in the sport I love! However, I will soon advertise more widely.
Please express interest on the relevant thread, by email to bdfthomas@outlook.com or on 07982 241730. I will read all responses and respond!

The "Tulik" is a great piece of kit that I take on every trip that I do! I took one to Greenland, and when we did a retrospective assessment of all the kit we toook, the Tulik (or AKA as a storm cag) was my best bit of kit! On other trips, it is probably the bit of kit that I have used most for people who are cold when we stop for lunch breaks. If people are doing sea kayak leadership, this bit of kit is fantastic!
Hi Maggie, it's yours and will be at the meeting tonight.
