CAUTION

It's not safe to assume that canoeists don't rip each other off. Please make sure you get the money up front. Don't accept a promise or a "deposit" unless you know the buyer personally. Also, be careful of spending a lot of time and/or money going to collect something that might turn out to be junk.

BEWARE OF SCAMS.  Several of our advertisers have met one which goes like this:
Buyer offers your asking price, boat unseen. Asks you to ship it abroad, wants to send a cheque for much more than the value of the boat: you will please pass on the balance to somewhere. What happens is that - much longer afterwards than you thought it took for a cheque to clear - the cheque bounces and you are left with no boat and a big hole in your bank account.

IF THE OFFER SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS. DON'T PLAY.

TO LET

THE GRANDTULLY - formerly The Grandtully Hotel: WEBSITE>

The property is undergoing a re-vamp throughout the year, but is operating effectively around the bookings.

The Grandtully is perfectly situated about 40m from the River Tay, which makes this the ideal base for all of your water based activities using SPLASH, who are based at the site. The site also has the Tully Cafe and Bar to cater for all your food needs from breakfast to after-activity buffets and evening 3-course meals.

There are 10 rooms, of which 5 are en-suite. Two are family rooms with a double bed and a set of bunks, the other 8 each have 2 single beds, so we can now sleep up to 24. There is also a drying room with a de-humidifier and heaters.

Splash can provide all your needs for an activity filled adventure break, be it just for a weekend of rafting and canyoning or a tailor made 5-Day total adventure package.

Canoeists & Kayakers: Ideally based just 40m from the rapids and slalom course at Grandtully. Why look anywhere else?

COLLECTOR'S ITEM

I am looking to sell a P&H Phaser slalom kayak that I bought new in the late seventies.  Never used in competition and used comparatively little for short river trips and a bit of surf kayaking. Since then it has been in storage (in a garage) for the best part of 30 years. The last time it was used was in the late eighties for a bit of messing about on the river.

It is in pretty good condition - a few scuffs and scratches. It's a mixture of sparkly green with yellow stripes and clear fibreglass.

There's also a paddle in similar condition. I think the make is Whitewater but not sure - blue metal pole with green fibreglass blades.

Anyone who's interested should e-mail endamullen@aol.com (28/4)
