Emergencies and canoes only

We return to the question of how you get a canoe on a bus. Luckily, one of our readers is former Great Britain canoeist James Wingfield, now a director at Data Management & Exchange. ‘It is actually very easy,’ he says, recalling his school bus. ‘The older type of double decker has an emergency door at the back on the driver’s side. You can get your canoe in through that and lay it in the aisle. ‘Things are much easier nowadays. Some of the modern freestyle canoes are actually shorter than the paddles that I use for racing, so they can fit inside a family hatchback.’
