    So chuffed to find this series as my brother and I are planning an "up and down" trip from Inverness next year that will entail around 110 miles of paddling.
    We did the trip from Shrewsbury Weir to Gloucester Docks along the Severn last year, which was awesome, this will be our next expedition.

    Thank you so for all the content. I have started my kayaking journey in North east UK 2 months back and have learnt a lot from your videos. I have a quick question using a tandem kayak as one person I see all of your kayaks are usually two person and you sail solo. Is there any challenges I should consider using tandem as solo or better buy a solo kayak? I have Aqua Marina Memba and Steam both 2 person but planning to use it as solo. Thanks

      @@dhruvsoft2693 I'm glad you like what I'm doing.
      Generally I paddle single person crafts which I prefer for their weight, nimbleness and pack down size. At the time of this video I only had the Chelan 2 person which I bought purely for this trip and spent winter using it to get used to it.
      Solo paddling a 2 person craft is fine, but it's never gonna be as nimble and quick turning as a 1 person craft. But if you just want to travel in fairly straight lines it's fine.
