Hi all ... just an update on the state of play behind the scenes at UKRGB. I’ve run out of excuses not to sit down and do some proper work on the site. My book is finished and in the shops, this year’s big paddling trips are out of the way and I have finally run out of ‘work avoidance’ tactics.

I'm currently setting up a system for voluntary regional editors to help with the work through the truly immense backlog of river guide updates. Hopefully, you should start seeing some progress made in the coming months. When that (major) task is done, then we'll take a step back and look at the bigger picture; namely, how to modernise the 'back end' of the site somewhat ... but the content comes first!

Best wishes, Mark R.

A very Happy New Year to all visitors and members.

I am happy to admit that although I've kept editing the Community, I have done very little work towards editing the river guides on this site during 2007. Sorry about this! The reason was that I was busy researching, photographing and writing a book. This took up all of my spare time, to put it mildly. The majority of the work on that project is now out of the way. I am now looking at ways to work through the backlog, and maybe even make the site a bit slicker. Watch this space!
