This was so inspiring 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Lucy. I'm in Stratford now. Where's the best place to get on the water?
Thanks for this, enjoyable watch and makes me want to get out on the water :) Roll on the summer.
I’d like to watch more of your videos but you’re Language is terrible so sorry no more watching from me….
Love this video.. I used to have a katana years ago now I'm older much I'm thinking about buying another one!!!
That was very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for inspiring me to finally get a kayak ❤
Do you still Kayak in 2023 I enjoyed your video.
Just bought a kayak myself…. Great videos
Do more videos
New subscriber😊 thought you did really well getting in an out of that kayak !,😊
I don't know anything about kayaking but shouldn't you have a rope to hold onto your kayak when you get in and out? And I feel waterway vlogs are better without music. Just have the sound of the water and the wildlife. Keep well.
Hello Lucy 🙋. Great video and a nice kayak. What is the length of your Palm Vision paddle? Greetings from Bavaria.
Great vlog well done. Can I ask what roof rack are you using. I have same vehicle and didn’t think it was possible to transport kayak on roof particularly as the rear windows don’t open. You advice is most welcome..Happy paddling..
An amazing video by an amazing girl
Great video, thanks! Well just to let you know that I have recently purchased a second hand sit on top Tootega kinetic kayak plus all the gear to keep me safe and warm. Of course I've broken the bank in the process. Main reasons for choosing the sit on top are: my age (68) , it is easier to get on and off, is more stable, I can have a seat with a higher backrest and it's easier for a beginner to paddle. A beginner, at 68?! Yes! Well, I did some canoeing as a youngster and a year ago my daughter-in-law invited my wife and I to join her at a nearby river to try out her new inflatable kayak. My goodness, paddling peacefully along the river was heavenly, and so from that day I decided that I just had to get a kayak, although for me it would have to be a rigid one. Watching your video has been a lovely experience, great footage! You've made an older man happy 😊 Thank you.
Hi Lucy - are you going to post any more videos?
You just got a new subscriber... Great video 👍🐀
I've just bought my first kayak. It arrives in 2 days, the day after the Queen's funeral. Can't wait to try a trip like this up here on the Severn. You make it look so fun and relaxing. Lovely video.
Great Vlog Lucy, really enjoyed it. Don’t worry about what others think of your struggles getting in and out, they don’t matter. 😎
Only thing I think you could do to help yourself is get a kayak trolley saves all the lifting easy store on your yak x
U on Facebook I'm only just down the road
Hi, i have a question....do you need a river license of some sort to kayak down the Avon? I'm looking to give it a go this week and wanted to start from Atherstone on Stour and head down the smaller river to meet the Avon then into Stratford-upon-Avon. How far can you go.dow the Avon in the Warwick direction?
Great video. I really enjoyed watching 👍👍👍🐀
Superb Lucy … getting mine soon
Hi Lucy, Great video. You really made me smile, love your enthusiasm and your problem solving when faced with challenges especially getting back in the water. You’re an inspiration and have made me want to take kayaking up as a pastime. Thank you. Keep doing what you’re doing you do it sooooo well. Stay safe.
What do you think of the katana for trips like that?
Ive been wanting to try this for ages, i live in birmingham and the canals are what i want to explore. Any ideas on where i can get lessons to start safely?
OK Lucy! Great show. Love your dialogue. Good job getting in and out of your boat. Hope to see more videos.
Hey Lucy, watched your videos and really enjoyed them, you seem to have quite the adventure! I live right next to river Thames and work minutes from the Avon, just brought a Perception Dancer. Looking forward to trying out some routes, although they may be a bit wiggly to begin with 😅 Drop me a message if you ever want a paddle 🚣♀️
Hey Lucy, Are you making more videos anytime soon?
Hi Lucy. It's been interesting for me as I've brought a kayak and have a Citroen c1 which is basically the same car as yours underneath the bodywork. What time of year was this though? My only interactions with swans have been confrontational but I've been paddling in April and May so they've probably been on eggs or with chicks. Basically the buggers come straight at me all hissy and pecky but there you are with hundreds of em and they're all cool! Why?
Heyup Lucy! New to your channel and just found this! Do you ever paddle the trent and mersey canal? Got a good Video location if you ever wanted to do a colab!
impressive young lady. I am gonna buy a kayak right now . Thank for the inspiration
This Stretch of the Avon is my local bit of river, there used to be a winter/spring race down the stretch.
Great video Lucy. I’m also planning on some big kayak/camping/fishing trips this summer. 👍
Lucy, as another urban kayaker I'd like to complement your deft ability to enter and exit your kayak in some awkward situations. Especially a round-bottom boat like yours that is so easy to flip. Well done!
Great Boat Choice!
Hi, love the kayaking vids. Been inflatable kayaking myself all last year and took the plunge to buy a solid plastic one this year. The video quality and the colours on your video are lovely, what camera did you record this footage on? Hoping to get the yak back out soon after March! :D
Sort of reminds me of when I bought my kayak. As a child I had kayaked on multiple occasions and at some point I randomly remembered I really liked it. So I found a kayak (actually a canoe) club nearby and signed up for an introduction course. After that I borrowed a club kayak several times and I figured I'd go to the local kayak shop to get a better idea than what I could see online. So I arrived there going "Hey, I'm looking for a kayak, I want to go the distance, possibly multi-day camping, and I think I'll need kayak A or B." So they looked at me and went "Yeah, with your length and size, probably need one of those". So we dragged both models out on the carpet, sat in, checked sizes, and eventually took them both to the water. I must have spend like 4 hours on the water there, but when I came back I was like "this one please". Funny thing is, I came by bike. I din't have a trailer, heck I don't even own a car (advantage of living in a country with good infrastructure). Plus I told no one, not even myself, that I was going to buy a kayak. So after paying I had to go "Erh, hey, imma make a quick phone call....". Luckily my club mates had my back and within 15 minutes there was a van with kayak roof top loader thingies and we brought the kayak to the club! :D And that's how I bought a brand new 17' 7" (535 cm) P&H Scorpio Mk.2 sea kayak (and some gear)
I sold my First Kayak because it was to big for my car, just like yours😂 should gave done like you, still got another inflatable one.. Happy rowing
cool video , done solo kayaking myself , its pretty relaxing and peaceful, There something funny when you have gone through the countryside going into the town where there are people ,, its a bit like a western when a stranger rides into town people just stop and take a glance as you paddle through its just one of those things i picked up on when i did it . well worth the adventure
Hello Lucy, as a new kayaker, I enjoy watching your kayaking trips. Please continue sharing your kayak outings. Thank you from Australia.
Great video 👍
Lucy. Flip the kayak over on top of the car. It rides moire securely
Wrong. the makers advice is to never do that. upside down or J bars is the way to go and avoid damage/deformation of the hull.
99th like, looking forward to more videos, i enjoyed your others, cheers
Lots of people are big fans of this style of no-talk no-music video. Some even take the person out of it as well. Check out how effective it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmiNsMqBmqmtg7Q.html. What are the kayak holders you are using on the roof bars please. Not seen those before?
Looks really cool ,do you need a license???
Great video you got my sub looking forward to seeing more from you ✌️👍
Thanks for the video, it's really great. Could I ask, how have you got on with the roof rack? I was looking at getting one and have a similar size car.
Nice video, my friend! Lovely kayaking! Best way to relax, haveing some whater adventure isn't it? 😉 The nature Is amazing, too.. Enjoyed watching a lot! Cheers from Russia, Lucy , and how about visiting my channel as well? I've got something to share about floating, camping, and other! Anyway, best wishes in all your plans and beginnings! Best regards, Yuriy!
