My contribution to Dave Kruger's monster 'Who We Are' thread:

Male
Married (DINKY)
Age 30  (there ARE a lot of old farts on this list! :-))

Boats: P&H Capellas, Eskimo Gambler, rotobat, + various home made glass
stuff well beyond sell by date.
Where: Live north east Scotland. Mostly day and weekend SK trips + forays on
local ww rivers. There is tremendous variety in sea paddling destinations
around Scotland, with a marked contrast between the exposed and rocky north
sea coast on which I live, and the sea
lochs/mountains/islands/headlands/fast tides four hours drive away on the
west coast. Enjoy trips to more distant venues.

Regularly paddle with local members of the BCU set, and have nothing against
them (he he I even like a few) and respect and enjoy the collective wisdom
of eperience, but I'm generally not interested in certification, programs,
licences, incompetence, instructors, bullshit, taking myself or anyone else
too seriously. Maybe I'll mellow on that score a bit as I approach the
maturity and wisdom of an old fart ;-0

Non Paddling interests: mountaineering, rock climbing, telemarking,
swimming,  bicycles, kites, fly fishing, Land Rovers.

Profession: Nothing to do with paddling at all. PhD Ecology, work for
Aberdeen University developing tertiary education Learning Technologies.

Must get around to putting up a web site up with some photos etc.

Cheers
