Rainbows and Rapids at the Adventure Paddlers Weekend eekends like this remind me of why I adore Dartmoor, and the WRiver Dart in particular. I’d fallen out of love with it over the last couple of years – too many disappointments as trips were cancelled at the last minute due to lack of water, too many unsatisfactory scrape runs on the Upper Dart. This weekend, though, looked like it was going to be just perfect. It had been raining all week, and my Facebook feed was filled with photos of Dartmoor locals enjoying the best levels for ages – runs down the Upper Upper Plym, big water on the Teign, before-work blasts down the Dart. My fingers were itching to type “Yes!” in reply to all the posts asking “Is anyone around for a Dart run in the morning?”, but I marshalled my patience and went to work instead as I should. Still, the excitement was building, a babble of voices on the mailing lists and The end ofthe Mad Mile: Sharrah's Pool (aka Pandora's Box) at a good chunky level. social media, checking the forecasts and predicting the levels.

  • Paddling Greenland Style
    Paddling Greenland style The early history The origin of kayaks is relatively unknown. We know from identified archeological finds that they 2000 years ago looked much like modern Greenland kayaks. But some years ago fragments of what may have been a 5000-year-old rib was dug up on a site in Western Greenland, together with tools reminding of a modern harpoon and fragments of a paddle. The excavation showed that the people lived on sea mammals that could not have been caught without boats. But kayaks may be even older – archeological finds from the coast of Bering Sound indicate that some kind of skin boat may have been in use 8000 years ago. The problem is that these crafts were built in natural material and decomposed quickly even in the cold arctic areas. The clues are mostly pieces of bone or stone that may have been used with the kayaks or umiaks – not the very crafts and paddles. The people The arctic north was colonized from Siberia in a number of waves. First were the fishing/hunting tribes of the Paleoarctic Tradition that around 11000 BC wandered across the Bering Sound that in those days were dry land. They may have used boats but we do not know for certain. After them came the Arctic Small Tool Tradition, 4500 BC, leaving behind them the aforementioned harpoon and paddle. Next in line was the Norton Tradition, 3000 BC, also with some evidence of marine activities. The Dorset Culture was of Indian/Eskimo heritage and settled on the west coast of Greenland 500 BC, leaving no traces of kayaks or related tools.

Touring can involve journeys ranging from a few hours to many weeks, along protected coastlines and inland lakes or out in the open sea. Sea kayaks are seaworthy small boats with a covered deck and the ability to incorporate a spraydeck to keep water from entering the boat. They are much longer than whitewater kayaks, offering cargo capacity, ease of straight-line paddling, and Kayak Fishing Canoe comfort for long journeys. Sea kayaks generally accommodate one or two paddlers together with room for camping gear, food, water and other supplies. Sea kayaks usually range in length from Angler Optimus Java ST/11° 11-18 ft/3.3m–5.5m for solo craft, and up to 25 ft/7.6m for tandem craft. Increasing the length of a kayak generally adds speed, which is useful for covering long distances. Longer kayaks are also less maneuverable, as turning quickly is not as important in open water. Sea kayaks provide an excellent way to get out on the water – for a day or a week, on familiar terrain or unknown territory, alone or with family and friends.
