Subject: Europe based group?
Hi,

I've been lurking here for a few weeks and I like the group very
much. Friendly and very good and detailed information. So I'd like to
ask a question. Is anybody aware of similar groups in Europe (my
news-server offers uk.rec.boats.paddle and a Polish one,
pl.rec.kajaki)? I'd be most interested in discussing and learning
about tours in western Europe (Germany/France/Belgium/Netherlands),
and about folding kayaks (like the Klepper boats).

Gruß, Martin

You might try Google Search uk.rec.boats.paddle. They are in Britain.
That is a little used news group but links to others. As the BCU is the
oldest kayak club i know of they should be a great source.
nf.paddling in Newfoundland canada is a good one as well , but it is
mostly local issues.

I think he already mentioned the UK.RBP newsgroup (which BTW, has
nothing to do with Google search) himself.

It has unfortunately, after the arrival of the two trolls (
http://wilko.webzone.ru/troll.html ), lost its splendor. The uk rivers
guidebook forum is where many, if not most, of the old UK.RBP crowd
gather online nowadays: http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/

Thanks to both of you. Once I have some more time, I'll have a look
at the British pages and fora you mentioned.

PS.: in news:de.* there is apparently no paddling group, but
de.rec.outdoors has quite some water threads, as I found out after
posting here. For fr.* I'm still searching.
