Logistics


It all seemed so easy: book flights to Alps; pack stuff into boats; Go...!

Then we started thinking about it: will BA allow four kayaks onto the aircraft? If the kayaks are around 19kg each, how will we manage with a published baggage allowance of 23kg when we add clothes, camping and kayaking stuff? Once we get to the other end, how will we run shuttles with only one hire car?

And of course, why can you never hire a car with roof bars. The answer to that problem could be at hand though, with the inflatible roof rack. Just inflate, tie round car roof, strap on four boats and that's it: what a great idea! I hope it really is this simple, though of course for an easy holiday, we'd be off to Malaga instead ...
