...INTRODUCTION A few years ago me and my husband bought two canoes from a seller on ebay, we spend two summers happily paddling up and down Lake Coniston, in the Lake District. Then last year these canoes become very uncomfortable, I think it was always the same but we bought them on a whim so I protested at paying too much for canoes that I thought would sit and collect dust in the garage. So at the end of the summer last year we decided to sell them on to get better kayaks, our old ones were the kind you had to slide into and on a number of occasions I got a soaking just trying to get in and out of them. We settled for two ocean kayaks, these are the kind you sit on top of as I had seen a number of people with these and they were not only smaller but they also looked very comfortable. THE YAK OCEAN KAYAK The ocean kayak...

Kayaking The Tasman

Advantages: Fun, adventurous, amazing views
Disadvantages: Weather dependent

...Abel Tasman is a New Zealand National Park located just outside of Nelson on the North Coast of South Island. With its golden beaches and clear calm blue seas its the perfect place for sea kayaking so at Easter 2005 a group of four intrepid GAP year students set out with Abel Tasman Kayaks to explore the park. Fortunately the weather was good, because although the company run thorugh winter, I think good weather makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable. Being short on time we undertook a guided day trip - Beaches and Islands - which cost $99 per person. This includes: A kayak trip, a water taxi from Marahau to Anchorage and back, a substantial lunch and a guided bush walk should you so desire. The groups are relatively small - about 12 people, or 6 double kayaks and the first part of the morning is meeting your group...

A beginners guide to kayaking

Advantages: its awesome and exciting
Disadvantages: it can be dangerous

...Ok first things first this is going to be a long review so before you start reading go get yourself a mug of tea or whatever your partial to!!! In this review I am going to cover Kayaking as a sport and I will include all the things you need to know to be an expert on kayaking like myself!!! Water grading This is an essential piece of information that every kayaker should know otherwise your putting yourself at serious risk. Basically all white water is given a grade depending on how hard it is and they range from I to VI and this a general description of them: Grade I: very easy white water that is barely discernable from flatwater Grade II: slightly harder and you can begin to see some water features (stoppers, holes, waves etc I will come onto river features) Grade III: I regard grade III as entertaining but not difficult...

Boots - the Store

Advantages: Quality products all under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...Everybody's favourite High Street chemist and beauty store! The Boots Company PLC is a chain of high street stores known for their pharmacy and beauty/health products. You can find a Boots on just about every high street in Britain. In fact Boots has approximately 1,500 stores in the UK and abroad. This is the thing I like most about it, you are always guaranteed to find a store wherever you are in the country which makes it easy when you need to buy a repeat brand or just need to pop into one quickly because you have left your toothbrush at home on a weekend away. Boots was founded in Nottingham in 1849 by a gentleman called John Boot, hence the name and turned into a chain by his son Jesse. Boots stores are very easy to spot and recognize on the high street. They include a big blue sign with Boots written on it in cursive white...

Review of Boots Boots

The many types of kayaking

Advantages: great fun,
Disadvantages: None

...There are many different types of kayaking here is some information on them. White water paddling: White water paddling is all about getting yourself in horrible situations and then finding a way out of that situation. People enjoy white water kayaking so much because of the adrenaline rush you get when You hit that wave in the water and get flipped over backwards. To be a white water paddler you must first be good on flat water. It is also handy if you can roll ,but it is not essential when you first start. But when you go onto bigger water it is Trust me you do not want to swim in big white water it is very scary. Playboating: Playboating is all about cramming yourself into a small boat. Taking it in white water and flipping it over, cartwheeling it and doing whatever tricks you want. Playboating is all about expressing...

Boots

Advantages: Convenient, loyalty points system, frequent special offers
Disadvantages: Some overpriced items

...Boots is a well-known chemist with stores up and down the country. If you don't have one near you, or find it inconvenient, you can buy products from the website at http://www.boots.com. Boots sell cosmetics, medicines, perfumes, haircare products, even sandwiches, and they are even branching out into areas like Botox, photo-processing, opticians, and laser-eye surgery! I have seen these advertised, but I have not used these services, so I can't comment on them. I have two stores near me, but I'm concentrating on the Trafford Centre branch for now. It is spread out into two floors - the ground floor deals with photo-processing and baby products, ie: nappies, bottles, etc. The upper floor is dedicated almost entirely to cosmetics, haircare products, etc, with a small section for the food (sandwiches, crisps, drinks, etc...

in the boot!

Advantages: Conveniently located and stocks the esentials
Disadvantages: a bit more expensive then other shops

...In almost every shopping centre and walkway you will find a Boots store. Quick history lesson: Boots was established in 1849 by a man named John Boot and his son jesse. The company was sold to an American drug company in the 20's and was sold back to British owners in the 30's. In 1991 Boots bought the company Halfords which sold bicycle, car and camping equipment. Boots later sold Halfords in 2002. The company manufactures its own brand of painkillers, vitamins and other such drugs. Another interesting fact found is that in 2005 Boots was looking into selling sex toys but later abandoned that idea. Would have been interesting popping into your local Boots for some face wash and a vibrator, (*immature giggle*). In general Boots is a convenient store selling many different items stuff from toothpaste to camera films. Some things can be...

Boot's store

Advantages: reasonable prices, good range of products, good offers
Disadvantages: long queue's at tills

...Boots are a highstreet store offering a wide range of useful everyday products including: over the counter medicine, a pharmacy for perscription medicine, photo printing services, makeup, perfume, personal hygiene products, gifts, opticians, food (lunch type food) etc. Some of these services are only available in larger stores. Positives: - Great value meal deals: for £2.99 you can get 3 items, I personally always go for their delicious chicken pasta, a chocolate brownie and an innocent smoothie which would cost alot more than £2.99 if all bought individually! - Reasonable prices on products - brand names are priced reasonably and boots also do their own range of products for very good prices. One particular bargain is a box of 16 paracetemol tablets for 16p, that's just 1p a tablet! - Boots advantage card which gets you 4 points (4p...
