Thursday 29 August Touring trip club to Topsham and back via river
There will be a touring trip on Thursday 29 August down the canal / river to Topsham. The paddle will be in sea kayaks. This trip will be suitable for people who have done the recent Introductory or Explore courses, provided you have enough fitness to paddle 8 miles. There will be three portages of the kayaks, which means carrying them between the canal and the river, or around the locks.
Meet at 5.45pm or as soon after as you can manage, at the Maclaines boatshed where the sea kayaks are stored. We need to leave by 6.15pm and the trip will take 2.5 - 3 hours. Sunset is 8.06pm in Exeter so the last bit of the trip may be in the dark. If possible please bring some lights for your boat. Small bicycle lights are ideal.
Bring a drink and a snack, warm clothes, sun hat, sunscreen etc .
More experienced paddlers are welcome as well.

See you all at the club.
Steve I think you will find the Sherpa a bit short. Most sea kayakers use 205cm to 220cm paddles.
