Dave Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Hi, does anyone have a link to a good informative website about canoeing the Dordogne, or maybe could recommend a good guide book? Our son and a friend want to do a canoe trip in September starting near Liourdres and finsishing close to Bergerac, I have done a search on Google but mostly only find links to canoe hire or holiday rentals. They are experienced canoeists and will be bringing their own canoes. Any pointers will be welcome. Thanks in advanceDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I'm not quite clear exactly what information you're lookng for, Dago. Are they planning camping overnight on the river bank ? I think the stretch between Badefols and Lalinde might be quite to difficult to negotiate in a canoe.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Hi Hoddy, we really want to know if there is a decent guide to the Dordogne by canoe, if such a thing exists, I have spoken to several French friends about the chance of getting away with 'camping Sauvage' and their thoughts were that in September as long as they kept ther overnight base clean and tidy that it would be OK, I was hoping that I may be able to find a French Kayak/Canoe assosciation or something like that where I could make some enquiries. I will pass on the info about the Lalinde stretch though, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Is the other word 'Dago' - I can see that might get filtered. Perhaps the profanity filter has developed dyslexia. Or Tourrettes.Yes it is the poster's user name, gets through the profile filters, but not the message ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I think the word they've edited is your name, Dago. I think this because if you look at your own edit on the original post - it's asterisked your name. Let's try this and see what happens - Dago, Dago, Dago.HoddyYes that's it. It's your name - D-a-g-o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Forum Admin Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 France Magazine has done a few articles on canoeing but not on the Dordogne.Main reason for this post was to test a change to the software.... dago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I did a search on abebooks.com and it came up with this - it might be worth a try -http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=443859816&searchurl=sts%3Dt%26y%3D17%26kn%3Ddordogne%2Bcanoe%26x%3D50Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
