Having lived in the UK for a number of years, the main difference in recreational activities is that in the UK they seem to center around well established clubs, while here, they are offered by commercial establishments and or public facilities. I suspect the sophistication and facilities of the well established clubs has narrowed the commercial opportunities for rentals, tours and the like. I would have identified and contacted any local "canoe" club and I'm sure you would have found boats available, organized trips and possibly a clubhouse with it's own pub. This is speculation from the paddling perspective but held true for my other recreational activities while in the UK, archery, flying and sporting clays. cu - *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Aug 02 2000 - 10:08:27 PDT
