Carlsberg lager and tasty pastries come to mind when I read the latest review of “This is the Roll” DVD. The pastries because the humorous John Herbert from the very popular KayakYak blog was disappointed not to find some instructions on how to make bread! However, he seems to have forgiven the omission as he had some very positive things to say about the DVD. He comments on what excellent presenters Cheri & Turner are and feels this is the most in-depth rolling DVD. In fact the conclusion of all his friends who watched the film was “probably the best instructional DVD any of them have seen”. In the comments, Paula has added “How can I make it clear that this is the single most helpful instructional kayaking video that I’ve ever seen?” (please read her comment to hear why she thinks that).

I was delighted and flattered to read such high praise. English folk will probably now realise why it reminds me of Carlsberg – as that was widely advertised as “Probably the best lager in the world”! But please – if you don’t like Carlsberg – don’t be put off!! It tastes nothing like it. Read their full review here.

Dutch paddler Axel Schoevers has also written a review which you can read here.

My ribs continue to improve and I went kayaking for the first time last Saturday. It felt great to be on the water on a short, slow paddle from Porthdafarch to South Stack, although in some ways I felt like a beginner as I was nervous of hurting myself. I’ll continue to build up slowly!

On a separate note, my website has recently swapped hosts so there may be a few glitches where things didn’t move across properly. If you spot a problem, then please let us know at info@ cackletv.com (minus the space – that’s there to try to prevent spam!).

Happy Paddling!
