Advice for a newbie

[Damp Colin]

on the castlereagh road just before the traffic lights at the ring road where Lidil's is, where would you be coming from?

[MG1]

Portadown. Do they supply all the gear?

[Damp Colin]

Bit of a drive, they have paddles, nylon spraydecks and plastic kayaks not the best quality equipment but they do for the beginner and novice.
They let you bring your own kayak and gear if you have it which i do.

[MG1]

Its not to bad half hour up the road. I would need to use there gear, i havent bought any yet cause i want to give it a go before i buy anything.

[Damp Colin]

Thankz a lot I will definately give it a go wed fortnight

[Damp Colin]

no probs maybe see you there then 

[RedLeader]

So can you just turn up at the Robinson Centre on a Wed night with no real experience and be shown or do you need to have done some beginner stuff first? Also, can you take kids (11 year old).

I did a week Kayaking course at a swimming pool when I was a teenager, was great fun.
