New YAK for the paddle
Hi All
The fantastic Guys at BLA have come good with a New Kayak and paddle to complete the Brook to Beaches! What champions!!
The Kayak is a very sexy (I know kind of weird to get so excited about a YAK) Necky Manitou 13 and Carlisle Paddle. She is an absolute beauty and I can't wait to have a paddle - but all in good time.
The most exciting thing is that BLA are happy for me to raffle off the Kayak on the last day. How good is that! The replacement value is over $1700 if my maths is right so be sure to get a ticket!!
Tickets will be on sale shortly (once I have set up a bank account for the money to go into) and will be $2 each or 3 for $5 - What a bargain!!!
Thanks again to BLA for their generosity - truly legendary stuff Fitzy!
Keep your eyes peeled as I will set up a link for ticket buying / direct contact when I get it all sorted
