edited August 2022 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

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. Please also make sure that you have found a comfortable boat, and that you have made a note of which boat it is.

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.

The forecast is quite windy for the weekend. Saturday is ok, but Sunday and Monday have strong winds. This will affect where we can paddle, and may result in us having to scale back some of the paddling for some people according to what is safe and sensible.

Camping: I have booked this and we pay cash £12 pppn when we are there. Please bring cash for the campsite and for 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.

    This is usually a fantastic long weekend camping on a great, relaxed campsite close to the sea. We travel out to paddle at various places varying from estuaries and rocky cliffs. I was looking at a few photos from previous years

    Liz is keen to come so count us in for two places.

    Sounds great! I'd be interested to join you during one of the days. Camping sounds good too, but I will need to confirm closer to the time.
  • rupeirupei
    Hi Jane - think I would be good for some of this - but probably make it a family weekend where I get to paddle for a day and other stuff the rest of the time. If going to be Tregedna will try to book myself as have a caravan to live in! Rupert.

    Hi
    I'd love to join you but think the logistics time wise won't work out. Please assume I'm not coming but if things change I will let you know. Thanks for organising....
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe

    Cariad - you have said that you would like to go here, so your name will be added. Jane has booked group camping, so you just pay when you get there and tell them you are with Exeter Canoe Club.

  • Darren_PDarren_P

    I'd like to join this - is it still possible?

    I don't think I can make this weekend anymore unfortunately, sorry :( It's a shame, it looks like it will be a great weekend!

  • TomDufallTomDufall

    I'd also be interested to join now that the Thames trip isn't happenig if it's possible to join on at this point. Ideally with a club boat.

  • AlexMacAlexMac

    Thanks
