Between Christmas and New Year Mr 80 Quid, The Machine and I went for a paddle on the River Don after a week of rain and storms. It was lively to say the least :)

Dave's river! What a treat.
Lol, don't tell him that 😅
Nice video, thanks. It always amazes me that there is no UK inflatable kayak club (unless there is and I can't find it). I watch the Swedish air kayak day with envy, it would be great to get a big group together once in a while with so many great rivers in the UK.
There are about 20 people in my kayaking group 😁
Amazing, you get tingling-balls-vertigo when looking up! It happens to me when I'm high up looking down.
Your balls tingle? ;)
Curious to know how far you kayak and what time scale?
@@caz-nbgalatea1528 well Caz, you've just told me you didn't watch all the video 😲😋
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner oh I thought i had! I saw you roll out on the landing! Have I missed something then!😜
lol was the volume off? hahaha because I said we'd done just over 10 miles in just over 3hrs :D
Lovely. nice lil adventure.. what drinks u had on shore?
Coffee 😋😁
I’m 5’4, is the Chelan 140 too big or is the 120 good enough for me?😊
If you're not planning on loading it with gear, yes the 120 is fine. However I'd seriously consider the Deschutes 110 and upgrade the seat.
i am 5'5 and wondering the same thing - i think the 120 is so tiny it limits options -like gear, a dog if you have one or have a friend with one and the kinds of water you can use it in, perhaps -where the 140 just seems to offer a lot more options, go alone, with a friend, with gear, overnight... and it likely tracks better as well due to its length... did you make a decision?
I can't wait to get back on the water again. I'm a fair weather paddler as I don't have all the winter gear. Plus I'm not a cold lover. Always good to see you chaps having fun
With the right gear it's not as cold as you might think. Still, as you say, we do have fun 😁
what kayak brand model was the black one?
That's the Gumotex Rush.
Nice to know ball tingling is a normal thing .Iv led a life of 60 years thinking i was a weirdo 😅 .i.I get it when i see someone on Telly hurt themselfs .Could never watch Harry Hill lol nice vidio take care 🙂
Yes you're quite normal 😁 Cheers, all the best 👍😊
@MoreThanJustaCleaner Thanks doc 😆
@@kevinpounder lol 😁
Tell your friend to make a youtube channel so I can watch videos of the Gumotex Rush haha, I have one but haven't been able to get out for some time due to a number of reasons.
It's a good craft 👍😁
Why didn’t u have a skeg in?
@@adburn1066 there are some whitewater parts that were quite shallow/rocky last time we did it...
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner thanks for reply. my chelan 140 is being delivered on Friday and I have never been in a kayak before. How do,I know when to use a skeg and when to leave it off?
@@adburn1066 shallow water=no skeg.
