Just a gentle reminder now that the dark evenings are with us that lights should be displayed on kayaks/canoes when paddling after dark. Ideally a white light to the front and a red light to the rear of your craft. A small light just to warn of your presence is all that is required. Small LED cycle lights are ideal and Aldi currently have some on sale at £2.99 a pair.(other providers are available). Head torches are useful when portaging or carrying out rescues but please remember they can affect the night vision of other paddlers.
