August Bank Holiday Weekend 29-31 August Falmouth SK trip CANCELLED
There will be a sea kayak weekend in Falmouth. There will be various trips offered each day, according to the weather conditions and what people want to do. To come on this trip you need to be at Explore standard or above, and to be able to paddle a minimum of 8 miles a day. This is an ideal trip for new club sea kayakers.
Please also make sure that you have found a comfortable boat, and that you have made a note of which boat it is.
Camping at Tregedna Farm, near Falmouth. https://tregednafarmholidays.co.uk/
Sea kayaking with trips for all standards. The only requirement is that we meet at 9am each morning to plan the trips for the day. I expect that people will start arriving at the campsite on Friday evening from c 5pm, but that is for each person to decide for themselves. There are good beaches at Swanpool and Maenporth within half a mile of the campsite.
Camping: I have booked us into the campsite and we will pay cash £13.50 pppn when we are there. Please bring cash for the campsite and for parking. National Trust cards are useful if you are a member as they have some car parks. If you want an elec hookup or a caravan space please book directly.
Sadly we have had to ****cancel ****this trip, please see Richard's post on page 2.
If you would like to come please reply to this email.

Some of the boats are quite popular. If you have been allocated a boat but may not paddle all three days please can you arrange for the boat to be available for other paddlers on days when you will not use it. This applies to the avocets Lv, the Atlantics Lv, virgo and possibly the sportives.
Note that it is LW at lunchtime so it is not practical to us the estuaries in the same way as we did two years ago.
If you are no longer planning to come on the trip please let us know via the forum.

Yes - I wouldn't miss it! Own boat
Evelyn might have jumped the gun a little on this, but Anna's the one I mentioned the other day who's been waiting for the new membership year to roll around and the new rates to be finalised before signing up.
She's got a good level of general fitness, has paddled the canal and flat river before (and a session of surf kayak!), and is joining some friends trips in the next few weeks, once she sorts out membership. (I'll step up and lead them if she doesn't sort insurance out by then.) She's also hoping to join a course and some sea trips between now and August, work and other obligations permitting.
Her husband has his own boat(s) and paddles with Paignton, so we might persuade him to sign up too.
After using it today the Orange North Shore
One of the highlights of the summer I am in ! Own boat
Hi I'd like to come with the family so might not paddle with the group both days.
I’ll join this trip.
I would however need to ask someone to transport the boat please
Looking forward to it again! Thanks for organising
I would love to do this
I'll join for paddling on Sat and Sun please. I'll need a club boat and of the ones left, the LV Delphin or Virgo are okay for me. Thanks
