Re: WTD: Packraft
Not much comes up used and never too cheap. One on Ebay at present - about £850 I think. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alpacka-Llam ... SwLvpc2~pD
Andy Toop has a couple in his Gear Conignment Shop in Aviemore - used Llama and a Yak with full outfitting...
https://backcountry.scot/adventure-consignment/
Rental is a great way to try out - from Andy again [urlhttps://backcountry.scot/alpacka-raft-hire/][/url] or from Germany (I've done this with great success) https://www.packrafting-store.de/Rental ... anguage=en and I think Jason at Tirio https://www.tirio.co.uk/contact is renting now too.
Rental is the gateway drug to fun (and expense)

I have one of these https://www.tamarackoutdoors.co.uk/PBSC ... D=23324111 In green.
I'd sell if for £400, I don't use it enough. The money would be handy for the new bike fund.
I've only used it a handful of times on easy water.
Will take some pics later if you're interested.

Re: WTD: Packraft
Hey, that sounds pretty interesting. I think the ones above are a little over my price range.
Though did see this on eBay... Any thoughts?
