Any Kayakers about?

Yes I saw the regulations and am happy to pay for a licence, I get a ton of pleasure from that canal.

You will possibly be the only one there with a licence.
I had a sit on top and had many hours of fun around Anglesey. Like Numbnuts I fished from it....... fresh Mackerel BBQd on the beach.....yummy.
Tried a 'real' sit in kayak but could not master the Eskimo Roll so decided not to risk that. I was washed off the sit on by waves a few times but as you know you can get back on that was just part of the fun

Once upon a time I was a level 3 coach, so I used to know what I was on about!

As others say, join a club. They will run courses and be able to give you tips. There may be members selling second hand kit too.

My club used to run pool sessions from autumn to spring, so for a small fee you could stay warm. I taught many people to roll in the pool.
