Update: I will be calling this trip filled at 9pm this evening to give time for plans. Let me know if you want to join by then.

Trip from Kingswear to explore coast heading West (subject to change). Lunch on a beach somewhere.

Club 8:30 to pick up boats and kit. On water at Kingswear around 10. Off water mid afternoon.

Will suit aspiring Sea Kayak Award (with confidence) and above. Currently predicting F4 dropping later.

Room for six + Leader (poss. more if more Leaders come along).

    Hi Steve, I would like to join you. I can help with transport from the Club if required, or go direct

    Hi Steve,
    I would like to join you. new to club , but fairly experienced - paddled with Owen last week, ask him as you wish. Ideally I would like to try using a club boat, but would need to meet someone at club as I have not been in boat house, happy to drive or share car from there. Could go direct with my own boat if necessary. Please advise what works best. Steve

    Great, thank you Nigel. Let’s see what’s needed and make a plan from there. Steve_H - you are very welcome to come along and I look forward to meeting you. We will make a plan by 9 this evening so be sure to check into the forum then. My number is 07595 370096

    Hi Steve, I'd like to join please. As per our texts, if you are able to pick up a boat for me (or if I could borrow Tamsin's) it would be ideal to meet you there.
    If club boat, Scorpio LV ideally yellow. I already have spraydeck etc. But would need a helmet please.
    If Tamsin's boat, please can I borrow the spraydeck, and can someone pick me up a helmet?

    Okay Anna. Planning to be at Kingswear for 9:30. I’ll bring those things for you.
  • Steve_CSteve_C
    Okay. Looks like this is the Team for tomorrow. We have room for one more because Steve_H can take one more boost. Those that need to, meet at the club at 8:30. Plan is to then meet up with everyone at Kingswear at 9:30 - to be on the water by 10.

    Agreed, I had a really good time and felt well looked after. Building some confidence and experience in slightly more challenging conditions, was a great experience. Thanks Steve, and Martin and my fellow paddlers :)

    Anna, That is great to hear. From my perspective, your ability to accurately express how you felt about the conditions made that possible, it is so easy in that conflicted and pressured moment to under state ( or say nothing or even deny concerns) or over state this
