Rough Water handling has been renamed Sea Kayak Rough Water Handling
So if you already have it don’t rush out and buy it. On the other hand if you haven’t got it …
It’s the same book but we felt that it could be mistaken for a book on white water paddling whereas the new name more accurately ‘says what it does on the tin’.

Update on progress from Danny Watts on Scottish Canyoning
I have completely finished 34 canyon descriptions now and written up some of the details to the remaining canyons as far I can. I’m now stuck at a stage where I need to go and descend these canyons to fill in the blanks. Just waiting for us to be allowed to travel a bit further. The good news is that around 80% of the canyons are written up.
Luckily we can go locally and I’ve already been out to examine one that’s close by and finished the write up. I’m checking out another one in a few days time.

Reprint of Climbing Games
I know it’s a bit pervy but I love the smell of a newly printed book! There may be the odd delay but everything is still working for Pesda Press. Today I received the advance copies of a reprint of Climbing Games. Don’t rush out and buy it if you already have it – it’s only a reprint as we have nearly run out of stock.
Paddlemore in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs
Pesda Press is delighted to announce that we have signed up two new authors Grant Dolier (left) and Tom (Moose) Kilpatrick. Work is well underway and we are at the editing stage. Publication is likely to be end of summer early Autumn this year.
“Our ethos is simple; more people, more paddling, more often.
Rather than limiting you to one discipline, we have focused on all options within the national park. Whether you want hardcore white water, multi day touring trips or a relaxing afternoon exploring sheltered water with your family you’ll find all that and much more in this book.
This ‘much more’ element includes those make or break aspects of many trips;. Included within this guide are such key factors as where to get a good coffee, bacon roll, or somewhere to stay with a hot fire and a cold drink. We have also tried to include relevant, interesting information, stories, and tips from our many years of exploring the park.“
Whether you use a SUP (standup paddle board), kayak sit on top, or open canoe this guide is for you!
