Tyne Tour 2011 completed

This last weekend we helped out at the Tyne Tour weekend. Based at Tyne Green at Hexham, it celebrates the opening weekend of the closed angling season. Normally a release of water from Kielder guarantees water, bring on the paddlers! As ever it was a great chance to meet up with all our regular customers, as well as meeting new customers.

This year we took loads of Demo boats, the creekboats and Mohawks white water Open canoes were available free to paddle for the day
we also had a selection of playboats from Jackson and Fluid, which were used on the flatwater by our stand, and some greatr offer boats available from our Sale lists



We took some clothing we had on offer from Sweet. we have a few bits remaining, please give us a call .

As it was a bit nippy all the beanies went early


We had some new boats on offer. This Pyranha Burn is in the limited edition Bubble gum colour, and was swallowed up later in the weekend by another customer. Unfortunately as it wasn’t red Matt didn’t buy it. He was the best man for Joe Alexander who chose to run the North Tyne early on Saturday before getting married later that day. Good Luck!







We had the new Nookie Iceman Thermals on show, together with the Booicore Changing Poncho proved popular thoughout the weekend










Our new branding was on show. Look out for it rolling out in the next few months








The weather was clear and cold in the morning, turning warmer in the afternoon
Dagger, Wavesport and Pyranha kayaks were also available to demo straight from the manufacturers or importers, we took the new Dagger Mamba 8.1 which had just been completed straight onto the demo fleet. give us a call to give it a paddle!





Always the first complete weekend in November look out for details in the new year.


We packed up just in time to catch the sunset on the drive back over to Cumbria. our next event is the Open Canoe Symposium based at Lakeside YMCA on Windermere this weekend see you there!
