    I think you are all missing the point here. Clearly this advice is aimed at people who do not have a lot of paddling experience.

    I agree with the other comments here - this advice is total pants unless it is aimed for the middle of Lidl inflatable owners, in which case it is fine. The PaddleSafer material that my club has merged into the delivery of the Discover Award touches on weirs and includes a link about the buzz and enjoyment of weirs which is contrary to this video.

    @Smego2 Месяц назад

    This is the only one of these videos I think is total crap advice! Wiers are great for safe controlled white water skills learning and practice! Some are even safe to shoot of you plan amd know what you are doing!

  • @stevehunter8473
    @stevehunter8473 Месяц назад

    Are you saying no paddling near any weir? Plenty of weirs are relatively safe, some on the other hand are dangerous. It all depends on a number of factors, design of weir, flow of water, escape routes above and below the weir, ability to perform a rescue. Saying steer clear of weirs as a general statement will mean the removal of many good paddling spots across the country which seems a big shame, wouldn't it be better to look at weirs individually to understand the risks associated with each, local clubs could assist with that, and provide some better more comprehensive guidance.

    I'm pritty nee to this. I've started paddleboarding along the Midlands canals. I enjoy the peace it brings along with the added excersize. One issue I've started to notice, which is potentially dangerous, is canal boats not seeing you. Mainly on a bend. I have considered maybe carrying a air horn but I would worry this may disturb wildlife. Do you have any advice ?

    • @patchso
      @patchso 24 дня назад

      I’d say keep in the middle so canal boats can see you but then move to the side (right) to let them pass. Air horn is gonna make you very unpopular with other users, maybe as an absolute last resort. My personal experience with canal boats has always been very positive. But you do just need to keep aware.

    Within the natural environment there are elements that occur for a good bloody reason our planet has evolved to mitigate itself in our absence ,,, before you think to remove anything try gaining a decent understanding of why it's there and what its role is in the biome your dealing with.. dynamic systems are not as simply as cause and effect....
