Friday 29 April to Friday 6 May 2016 Anglesey Symposium
There will be a club group going to the Anglesey Sea kayaking Symposium in 2016. The symposium is a big festival of sea kayaking dedicated to rough water paddling with tide races, surf and advanced rock hopping. About 200 sea kayakers attend from all over the world and it is a great week. You want to be paddling comfortably in rough water of at least 3* standard to enjoy this symposium. Anglesey does not have very much sheltered water and therefore the symposium cannot offer gentle paddles for less experienced paddlers.
Based on the format for 2015 the cost is £135 for the 3 day weekend to include all tuition and camping. The full week costs £270. During the week it is possible to do a series of courses eg a one day 3* assessment on the Monday, 4* training on Tuesday and Wednesday and the classroom based Coastal Navigation course on the Thursday. These courses are all included in the price other than the BCU fees of around £12 per certificate. There are also day paddles each day to the tide races etc.
The camping is basic and I will find out the prices of an upgrade to one of the yurts. You want to stay on the main site as the centre and the pub are all located there.
Booking usually opens in January and sells out very quickly.

If interested please reply to the posting. I'll keep people informed on when the booking opens.
