Saturday 21st September. Cancelled- Sea Kayak - River & Sea
I am looking at leading a trip launching at Aveton Gifford, exploring the river then the coast from Burgh Island to Hope Cove. We will end at Bigbury so a car shuttle will be required. This trip is still subject to weather and swell conditions but tide times work for a quick sprint down the river on the falling tide. If the surf is looking to challenging to leave the river we may need to move the launch point to Hope Cove or North Sands car park in Salcombe. To make this trip viable and open to all I will need a second experienced leader for supervision and safety. This trip is not suitable for beginners but good for anyone who has done the 2* training and has been on some club trips at sea.
This trip is weather dependant so please watch the forum. 8.30 At Maclains or 9.45 at Aveton Gifford to organise the shuttle.
Sorry all. I have just looked at the weather forecasts for tomorrow and it is showing F4/5 winds with gusts of up to 24 knots for most of the day and 1.5M of swell. This is beyond the edge of my comfort zone for leading a trip in that location.

That is a good trip but it clashes with a wedding that some Club members will be going to!
Nigel. Thanks for the info. I may need to review based on the numbers who sign up.
Jim, Owen, Kwinten. I have just been looking at wind guru and we look to have some big swell and moderate winds on Saturday with strong winds forecast for late afternoon/evening. I will make a call on the viability of this trip when I get a better forecast tomorrow and we can see when one winds are predicted to come in.
Trip cancelled. 24 knot gusts and 1.5M of swell. This is beyond my comfort zone for leading an offshore trip. Owen
