Welcome to canoekayak.co.uk the on-line branch of Canoe & Kayak UK Magazine, the UK's best selling canoeing magazine. Canoe & Kayak UK is dedicated to providing the most topical and detailed coverage of the whole paddling scene. Written by paddlers, for paddlers.

As well as beavering away on the magazine, and squeezing in the odd paddle, we've also been busy uploading a fresh load of gear tests and articles. Head-to head Dry Cag Group Test, River Running Skills - How to Punch Through Holes, Head-to head Camping Gas Stoves Under £30 Test. Plus we have some cool videos of a recent test session on Pyranha's new freestyle boat The Molan
The weather's finally starting to break, so we'll be out on the water a lot more over the next month or so and we'll be getting more and more up-to-date River Guides on-line in our Places To Paddle Section
And don't forget to get blogging and adding your pics and videos to the Gallery to keep us up to date on all your paddling adventures too.

There’s so much crammed in to issue 110 we don’t know where to start!
There’s river running action from Bob Timms as he takes a group to the Himalaya and the rivers of Nepal, and UK paddler Simon Tapley faces his fears as he takes on the ultimate test for a river runner, the Grand Canyon of the Stikine River.
Open Canoe fanatic James Weir explains how you can get more out of your time on the water with some excellent top tips and we take a trip to join Shrewsbury Canoe Club at one of their weekly sessions.
For the salty sea dogs amogst you Level Five Sea kayak coach Olly Sanders shares the adventure of crossing Norway’s Maelstrom tidal race.
We all experience the occasional mishap on the water and learning from your mistakes is a valuable skill, so we talked to a number of leading paddlers to find out about their closest shaves and the lessons that they learned from them.
On the gear front we’ve had the hotly anticipated new Pyranha Molan freestyle kayak out on test.
If all that isn’t enough there’s even more! A journey to the Zanskar River in India provides a group of students from Exeter with the ultimate school trip, we take a visit to the Pyranha Dartfest event and we have a great little article on how to convert a kayak in to a C1.
Plus all your favourite regulars; The Floater, Toolbox, PyB Top Tips, CK women and more!
