Location Kingswear is confirmed: Meet 8am at the club to load kayaks, or 9.15am at Kingswear, slipway next to the Sailing Club, very close to the lower ferry. There is a car park at the station next to the lower ferry. Trolleys will be useful so please bring one if you have one.
Note for van drivers: the last part of the journey from the lower ferry slipway to the slipway is very narrow, has tight corners and overhanging buildings.

Equipment is explained here: https://www.exetercanoeclub.org.uk/sea-kayaking-information/
Please indicate if you can offer a lift for boats to others. Also coins for car parking will be useful.
Please can everyone look up the tide times for Dartmouth, and if possible work out which way the tide will be flowing. Wind forecast and swell forecast will be useful.

It is forecast to be windy but we will have some shelter from the West.

    Hi Jane - regret unable to make this one. After the last award session you mentioned that you we’re going to email - please let me know if you did so I can hunt in junk folders. Thanks.
  • Hi Jane, I’d like to join you if that’s ok? I’ll need a club boat. I can transport a couple of boats if necessary, although I’d need to borrow some straps and pads. Steve
  • Sorry , I'm going to have to pull out I haven't been feeling great this week

  • let me know if anyone interested in car share, if anyone is going to club to pick up a boat, could they pick up a club towline for me please.

  • I can collect a towline.
