    Clive and I are now in possession of the majority of Bob Grose’s kayaking kit and related belongings. I am compiling a list of his things and will advertise them on the PPCA Facebook page and Forum page first. Jane (Bob’s wife) would like any money raised from Bob’s cherished Kayaking things to go to the RNLI.

    Below is a list of his books and his dry suit. If any one is interested in any of these please get in touch or reply to this post.

    The dry suit has now gone to a good home.

    I have had no interest for the books, so I will now start to advertise them elsewhere.
