Does anyone have any tips in regards to what food to bring? Will there be a pub near buy for dinner etc? I am assuming it will be make my own breakfast and lunch.
Also, I will drive down Friday from London - I can pick someone up on the way - I have room for one more kayak too, though tied directly to the roof rack unless I have to go through Exeter, in which case I can borrow my brother's Kayak rack. . Will head back on the Monday - I guess sometime after Lunch, but not too late as I will need to head back to London. Do we have time for a morning paddle on the Monday?
I can transport a club kayak for myself + another for someone else. Also happy to give a lift from Newton Pop area/Exeter/anywhere along that sort of route. Leaving time on Fri flexible.
I will be arriving fingers crossed lunch time Friday. However, is there anyone leaving exeter with a space for one person no luggage, from 4.30 onwards.
Hi, I’m leaving around midday on Friday so a can pick up one kayak + passenger/kit at the club on the way to Falmouth. Passenger can be pick up from their home too if it’s roughly in the right direction.
Hi Jane, I’d love to join if that’s possible? I’d need to borrow a club boat (ideally one of the Scorpio’s - I’ll make a note next Tuesday) and I’d need someone to take the boat for me. Jason would you be alright to take a kayak for me? I just need to confirm if I can get the afternoon off work, if not I’ll drive down in the evening and I’m happy to share lifts.
Hi Jane,
Thanks for the details on plans and boats. Rob and I will make our own way down on Friday afternoon and can transport boats for ourselves.
Scorpio LV is great for me. Thanks.
For Rob Aquanaut is no good unfortunately. After extensive tests the only club boat that fits Rob is the yellow Scorpio (mv). But clearly Scorpio demand is high. Can you please let us know if possible.
Thanks Anna
Thanks for the update, Jane. Yes, I'm planning to come - arriving Sat morning and leaving Sun evening. I'll need to borrow a club boat and can help with transport of people and boats as needed.
OK, I will drive down to Falmouth in the afternoon on Friday - I can pick up one person and a boat from the club after lunch at 14:00 and drop them back to the club Monday. Happy to take just a boat if no lift is needed.
I'll set off from mid Devon Saturday early eve, returning Mon after paddling. I doubt that's of any use to anyone wanting a lift, but I mention it just in case.
if useful or if anyone is curious and would like to give it a try I can bring it with me.
Comfortable and stable for ppl up to 6ft - pretty solid like a hard kayak too. Can be used by people even taller but less comfortable and way less stable but still ok.
Yes, Jane mentioned in her post she expects people to start turning up at the campsite around 5 ish Friday. But totally up to individuals to decide when they want to arrive.
Thanks Jane for all the organisation, my plan is to arrive Friday evening, then leave after paddling on the Saturday as unfortunately I'll need to get back.
I think the essence 17 should be fine, or else I'd probably prefer the aquanaut if it sounds like Rob P doesn't want that one.
Thanks Jane. I've got some other accommodation for the Friday night in Falmouth, so would like to join the paddling on Saturday too. Could I use the spare LV kayak then please? I can offer a lift for someone (Rachel?) and carry up to 2 boats, leaving Exeter about 7:15 pm Friday. It would be good to pick up the boats on Wednesday night if possible.
I am planning on travelling down at some point on Friday afternoon / evening, depending on when I can get away from work. As I live in Okehampton, I will not be travelling via Exeter and will travel independently. I will bring my spare Scorpio if that is useful (and if not needed, I might paddle it myself at some point)
Today My roof rack was meant to be fitted in time for Falmouth but i have received a phone call saying that is has to be moved to Thursday as it has not arrived just as a back up please could anyone see if you have a free space to take a boat for me
Thanks Alex

Hi Owen
You are welcome. I am sure that someone will be able to give you and a boat a lift. We generally encourage car sharing so it won't be a problem.

I am away from 12 to 21 August, so not around to help organise transport. Please can everyone sort it out amongst themselves.
Jane you can now put next to me that i can take a kayak for myself and possible 2

Anna Let's wait for a few more replies, and then I'll redo the list.
