come with a set of wheels that fit into the drainage holes, so easy to move around, the tyres are special sand ones that make it even easier

Has anyone been taking advantage of the ridiculous rainfall with some kayakin? I had a 3 hour session on Friday and went white water rafting on Sunday.......lots of fun! The rivers near where i live aren't the best but certainly entertaining! We got treated to a fair few fallen trees etc, the bottom of the kayak is also very popped so we got tickled by the odd rock every-so-often. Choices, choices, lie down and deal with the rocks or sit on the sides and get caressed by branches!
I haven't got any photos of my kayak but the review is here: Pyranha Micro 230 .

well tickle me elmo.......today a kayak ...perhaps tomorrow an air rifle.....and he'll be hooked for life....btw does the micro 230 have cup/stubby holders?
What ever happened Kim again.....? Not that you aren't doing good job or anything....actually you seem a little more leanient on the delete button. Which is cool. I think they should always have moderators that have hobbies in the forum they moderate and should participate more. Well good luck with the kayak......closest I've come to kayaking is canoeing and sailboating. If I had to do an eskimo roll.....I'd probably drown......or least get me ale all shooken up.

Haha, no air rifle yet, tryin to buy a butchers so all hobbies that need investment are on hold, still got plenty to keep me occupied tho. It only has a water bottle holder in the seat, which isn't useful when u've got a spray deck on! I still cant eskimo roll yet either, about time really but there's something about bein upside down in a boat goin downstream thats really disconcerting so difficult to learn.
I kinda hav an air rifle, a .22 import (doesn't have a brand on it) my dad got for his 21st (about 30 years ago), it's not the best though after years abuse when me and my brothers were younger and i've taxed my mates. I dont like buyin rubbish just to replace it so will wait til i can afford a good rifle 
Kim's still at Review Centre, she used to do all the forums but now we moderate the areas of the site we manage so i do shooting now. I try to be more lenient but sshhhhh............. haha, i dont think shooting and hunting generally go down well but people that don't like shooting should just stay out of the shooting forums.
I will hopefully be taking part more often, started fishing as well and the fishing forum is dead so might have to try and get it up to scratch, sure there's loads of people that fish that use Review Centre.
