I am always looking for support from companies interested in helping a young British kayaker whose values and products fit in with my own ambitions. Furthermore, Jonny Briggs and myself are presently in the process of producing a kayaking guidebook to Yorkshire, and any companies wishing to be affiliated with this project (either as sponsors or advertisers) should contact me at woodstone01@hotmail.com.

I would like to thank Windermere Canoe and Kayak for providing me with a generous discount, as well as some work, over the last few years. They are the Lake District’s kayaking shop, being based on the shores of Lake Windermere means they can offer hire, tuition and demo services, and are only a short drive from the M6. It also means they are in a fantastic location for you to pop by whilst on a Cumbria paddling fest! Visit their online shop at www.windermerecanoekayak.co.uk for further details.
