Go with the flow
Welcome to Canoe & Kayak UK Magazine's On-line branch. Canoe & Kayak UK is dedicated to providing the most topical and detailed coverage of the whole paddling scene. Written by paddlers, for paddlers. Well the dust has finally settled on our 100th issue and we've been enjoying the sunshine and getting some time on the water. Junior Writer Ross has been off in Canada, on the Ottawa River, for a month, open canoeing, gear testing and playboating, while the rest of us have been beavering away putting together another rather stonking issue. There's something for everyone. From sea kayakers to open boaters. River runners to elite slalom racers!
Have fun and paddle safe![]()
