Aug / September sea kayak trip to Jersey UPDATED
A sea kayaking holiday to Jersey is proposed for late August / September. Dates are not fixed yet but we would aim for six days paddling between Wed 30 August and Sunday 10 September, plus travelling. This trip will be suitable for paddlers who are working towards their sea kayak award and upwards, and who are interested in paddling in moving water, paddling to islands (les ecrehous), and exploring the intertidal zone. Jersey has fabulous paddling and scenery with an intertidal zone so that the island increases in size by 30% at low tide. It also has many small tide races that are a really good way to be introduced to moving water in a controlled environment.

Accommodation will be at the Jersey Hostel in dormitories. Jersey Hostel provides groups with sole occupancy of a dorm, so no sharing with people we don’t know, with separate male / female rooms. The cost of the accom is £39 per person per night for bed and breakfast. This is a very reasonable price for Jersey. There are good self catering facilities, and an area for rinsing paddling kit plus a drying room.

During some of the dates that we are considering the hostel is hosting a dogs group, so newfoundland dogs would be staying in the building along with their owners.
Travel will be by ferry, and prices for a car with 3 people plus sea kayaks appear to be c £480-£530. The trip looks to cost c £500 plus food.
A passport or driving licence with photo is required to provide proof of identity to travel to Jersey.
You must have travel insurance to come on the trip. The European Health Insurance card does not apply in Jersey.
Please reply to this thread to say if you might like to come on the trip. If there is interest we can have a meeting to work out the practicalities and see if we can make the trip work.
Max six people, based on two cars with up to 3 people per car.
***Meeting Tuesday 25 July at 9pm to discuss plans for Jersey. Come along if you'd like to find out about it.
Confirming dates are 31 August to 6 Sept
