                    Still haven't learnt how to roll. Stick to touring but keep intending too. Problem is no pool courses round here and the local club is all kids

                        Is camping available to us, if so may look at coming and taking my kayak with me and make a weekend of it?

                        It says on the website - "camping only available on site for event customers"

                        Are we registered as an 'event' with them or 'just a bunch of blokes out for a meet'?

                        Took this over from Mark, just bare with me for the time being and al speak to him as soon as.

                            I hate to say this but is Rother Valley still the best place? Seems a little more North than Central.
