After a few hectic days, all the magazines are now in the post.

All subscriptions were sent out on Saturday - first class to UK addresses - we were hoping that the UK one's would have arrived by now, but it seems there might be a delay in the posting resulting from last friday's postal strike (Thanks Posties!).

Shop copies have been sent today, so hopefully Parcel Force will deliver the majority of them by/on this coming friday. Most of the Scotland shop copies are being delivered by Ollie Bray, who volunteered to deliver them on his way back from Weymouth to Edinburgh - so a big thank you to Ollie!

I'm now an expert in filling out customs forms for Canada & Eire.

If you're holding back until you see it in the flesh, then you should be able to check out your local canoe shop this coming weekend (though check our list of shops stocking Ocean Paddler magazine as believe it or not, not all shops selling sea kayaks in the UK want to stock it!) If you're local shop doesn't have copies but wants to have them please point them in our direction.
