Windsurfing locations near London?
Question:I used to windsurf quite a fair bit, then two years ago I moved down to London and gave the whole thing up. Now I'm bored and I get days off that make me even more bored. I really doubt there will be, but are there any reservoirs/sailing clubs in or around London? The closer the better. I don't drive, so ideally it needs to be reachable by train and maybe a little walk. And hopefully it'll provide a refresher course too.
Is there anything like this nearby or am I asking for the moon on a stick?

What's the benefit of a sit-on-top kayak?
Queen Mary Reservoir and one close by, I cant remember the name but Happy Hobie's used to be there - might still be it is sandwiched between the M 4 and M40 just outside of the M25 sounds delightful I know but not too bad really but at the end of the day they are just ponds compared to the sea.I have just remebered its Bray Lake at Bray
What would be the best type of starter outfit for a novice getting into fly fishing.?
Yep, you're asking for the moon on a stick. I think the place to go in the UK is Torquay but that's nowhere near London. Maybe you should take on a new activity...like running on a treadmill...not so exciting though...Lee Valley have facilities for wind surfing! It is in North East London. Walthamstow, Edmonton, Chingford area. I went there as a kid and I remember there being wind surfers! They have lots of reserviors. I remember there being water-skiing, canoeing, and rowing too!
