"English Canoe Classics" is an illustrated guide to some of the
finest tours of northern England's waterways, from the North Tyne
in Northumbria to the Shropshire Union Canal in the West Midlands.
Scenic lakes, placid canals and broad rivers, as they can only be
seen from a canoe or kayak. Eddie and 'Wilf' have chosen the best
inland touring routes. They are described in great detail and
illustrated with numerous colour photos and maps. The selected
routes are suitable for open canoes, sit-on-tops and touring
kayaks. Many of them can be tackled as a single voyage or a series
of day trips, with campsites en route. The journeys are all
accessible but highly varied, taking place on lakes, sheltered
coastline, rivers and canals. A wonderful book for planning voyages
and inspiring dreams, or sharing your experiences with others.
Eddie Palmer bought his first kayak over 50 years ago. It was a
wood and canvas one in which he set out to paddle rivers in his
part of middle England and Wales. Since then, he has kayaked and
canoed extensively in the UK, Ireland, western and eastern Europe,
the USA and Canada and southern Africa. His passion over the past
few years has been for long-distance canoe-camping. After a
competitive career in slalom and whitewater racing, he still
paddles whitewater. Eddie is a Board Director of the SCA and is the
co-author of Scottish Canoe Touring, author of Scottish Canoe
Classics and co-author of Irish Canoe Classics (all published by
Pesda Press). Nigel Wilford has been involved with canoeing for
most of his adult life, paddling throughout the UK, mainland
Europe, Canada, USA and New Zealand. Born in northwest
Leicestershire, his first canoe experience was on the gentle River
Soar. Not long after, he moved to Yorkshire to attend university.
The enjoyment he found while paddling the rivers of the northeast
firmly established canoeing as his activity of choice. In 1991 he
joined the British Canoe Union's coaching service, helping others
to improve their canoeing or to become better coaches. Nigel has
held various roles within the BCU including Local Coaching
Organiser and English Whitewater Safety Coordinator. He is a BCU
Level 5 Coach and member of Team Pyranha.
