RE: Injebrook resevoir???
Spooner ! !
The only way I'm drinking any water that dirt bird has been paddleing in is if he takes 6 showers a day for 6 days and can produce certified evidence to prove it.............which he can use to apply to the MWA ( Manx Water Authority) for a MGP Resevior licence at a cost of £250 he will also need a medical from that special clinic up at Nobles
He will of course be expceted to produce the licence at any time if requested by any Clerk of Courser, Peel bus driver or MGP social committee member...............

Injebreck resevoir is owned by Douglas Corporation but is run by the water board.Local sailing clubs have permission to use it only in the winter months when to water level is high and there is less risk of pollution.
This is from a member of the Douglas yacht club and is correct info.however he did say it is very unlikely that anyone would complain if a canoeist were to have a paddle PROVIDING they kept in near to the banks.
Apart from the pollution issue I am reliably informed that the Islands resevoirs are not to be used for recreational water sports because the water is too deep for safety!!!! can you believe it. It,s not a matter of no one would complain the rules are there to be obeyed! Fishermen have to abide by the rules and so should everybody else.

RE: Injebrook resevoir???
I think we used to take the (air) cadets to West Baldwin reservoir for canoeing, but have you ever tried sea kayaking? It's very popular over here:

The guy who runs this would, I'm sure, also be able to advise you about the reservoir situation etc.
Have fun!
