I'm looking at getting back into paddling (kayaks) and one of my favourite boats when I was instructing years ago had just come up on eBay. These don't come up very often and I would love to do some retro youth recapturing.
Unfortunately it's miles away from me and the seller wants reasonable money for the boat considering its age so to make this viable is anyone coming to East Anglia from Dorchester area that would be able to assist with a 9'11" (3.1m) kayak? Obviously gratitude, biscuits, tea ,coffee, beer or beer tokens are available. I just cannot justify adding the cost of diesel from me to his and back again on top of the cost price of the kayak to fulfil my youthful nostalgic renaissance.
I know it's an ask but I'd be really greatful if anyone can help with all or part of a relay.
The seller is in Dorchester and I am in Norwich but obviously I would be willing to travel to meet anyone willing to move this closer
Cheers

Have you got a link to eBay. Not that I want to buy but I do have one to sell D3 HSE
Wow hi Sean, yes I remember the meeting. Did you ever get the skates to Will? IIRC you had trouble getting hold of him.
The boat I'm after is on eBay with a buy it now and has 4 days left. But to be honest unless I can get some help with transport the asking price makes it a bit steep if I have to go down and collect it too From the Factory: '05 Java Black D3 S-spec, Manual, Heated Fr & Rear Seats, Cruise, HK High Line.

I know.............shame it's that far away from me. Would add over £100 in diesel to go get it From the Factory: '05 Java Black D3 S-spec, Manual, Heated Fr & Rear Seats, Cruise, HK High Line.

If it's of any help then if someone can get it up closer to Surrey I'm planning on travelling up to the Highlands mid-to-late October and could get it up closer to you. I haven't settled on a route yet but current thinking is perhaps Surrey -> Scotland -> Wales -> Surrey so a diversion up the A1(M) isn't out of the question.Ed

I live near Dorchester and could store it pending suitable onward transport being arranged if that helps?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Sadly, I've ceased my trips to East Harling, otherwise I'd have offered.
Don't suppose this one in Ely matches the one in Dorch?Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
Dr lex, that's a shame, East Harling would have been fab. Thanks for the other eBay link. The Ely one is the middle spec boat of 3 in the pirouette range where as the one in Dorchester is the top spec.
Nevertheless would have been a perfectly good boat and I did have a go but sadly I was outbid at the last minFrom the Factory: '05 Java Black D3 S-spec, Manual, Heated Fr & Rear Seats, Cruise, HK High Line.
