Recommended Book List
Here’s an additional link to Pesda press who publish many of the books Adam shows above plus it shows many sea kayaking books recommended by Paul H and a book on how to paddle a Sit on Top for Gary to read. Please note that from experience it’s worth searching places like Amazon and Play.com to get good prices on these books.

The level at Symonds Yat was high this Sunday but you can tell that the new improvements should make it much more usable with clearly defined lines which should produce good breakout practice opportunities. Although there were a few waves it was a bit high to see what good waves may form. The level on Sunday was a full steps depth above the wide bottom step and our estimate was that it could do with being 4″ to 6″ lower to be ideal.

Are you are interested in a paddle at Symonds Yat this coming Sunday 2nd November. The BCU improvement work is now complete. It’s a great place to improve your paddling. We will meet in the car park by the river at Symonds Yat East. At 9:30 a.m. Don’t forget your money for car parking and canoe launch. It was £3 per car all day and £1 per boat. You will need to arrange to bring your own gear. You need to be on the east side which is the side of the Saracens Head or Royal Hotel.
Note this is not a trip more of a park and play on the river and short rapid section. Contact Graham or Clive for more information.
