Sea kayak Saturday 8 April - Boscastle to Tintagel

Note - this is no longer a paddle / camp for the weekend - now Saturday only.

I am planning a sea kayak trip from Boscastle to Tintagel and back, meeting at Boscastle at 10.30am. This piece of coast has lots of coves and caves with rocky cliffs. However, it does not have many landing options so it is a committing trip.

The plan is not to rush the trip, but to explore as we go.

The wind is due to be from the south F4. We should be out of the wind under the cliffs for most of the way. However, it is not a beginners trip. Paddlers should be 3 star standard.

I would suggest that people meet at the Club at 0900. I am travelling from Okehampton so will not come in to Exeter. Bring food and drink.

Please confirm attendance.

    I'm up for this. Camping fine, otherwise a straight paddle. Shame to miss the nice weather. How about Lyme Regis area?

    Updated - could people confirm their attendance. If necessary, could somebody give Paul a lift?
  • David_LewisDavid_Lewis
    Yes I'm up for this. I'll do direct to Boscastle, from Taunton, so I regret I won't be able to give Paul a lift.

    Meet at Boscastle at 10.30am. Bring helmets if you want to get in around the rocks.

    Richard and Ellie will go direct if Jacqui is ok to give Paul a lift. Post here if a.n.other needs a lift as we have space for 1 more boat (and passenger).

    Had anyone paddled from here? Do you know if we can we drop off boats by the harbour / YHA otherwise its a long trolly drag from the main village car park. May need to drop off quick and then park up...
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe
    I have dropped off boats by the harbour before and then taken the cars up to the carpark. We will be arriving at about low water, so we may have to carry boats a little way.

    I am going to put my trolley in, just in case.
