03/12/2012: Congratulations to Jason Cole who is the lucky winner of Ultimate Canoe & Kayak Adventures.
Win a copy of this inspiring collection of 100 extraordinary paddling experiences. Ultimate Canoe & Kayak Adventures offers something for everyone, from extreme sea kayakers to novice paddlers seeking unique touring adventures.
Canoe London is offering a free copy of Ultimate Canoe & Kayak Adventures to one lucky winner. To be in with a chance of winning, see the Facebook competition page or simply drop us a line with your full name and email address. The winning entry will be published on 30th November 2012.*
The adventures cover every sort of paddling, from mountain chasms, gentle rivers and lakes to crashing surf, dramatic coasts and the oceans beyond.
The book covers the globe, with adventures spanning the frozen wastes of Alaska to the tropical rivers of South America. The UK and Europe are well served, with the book featuring many of our favourite trips and locations, as well as offering exciting new suggestions that we’re now itching to explore.
Striking, full-page colour pictures accompany the lively text, giving a real flavour of the paddling on offer. Each description includes extra information, such as experience levels needed (novice to expert), grading (where appropriate), advice on how to get there and further information on nearby paddles and other attractions.
Although this isn’t an in depth guidebook with detailed trip guides and step-by-step instructions, it will hopefully inspire the reader to explore new paddling adventures, either close to home or on distant shores.
Ultimate Canoe & Kayak Adventures would be an ideal gift for any kayakers or canoeists in your life. Even better, add it to your own Christmas list and hope that Santa brings you a copy. Along with the Christmas turkey you will have 100 inspiring and exciting adventures to chew over – and that’s a great way to see in a new year!
The book can be purchased online at Wiley Nautical.
