Sunday 18th August Sea Kayakers Explorers Trip - Budleigh Salterton - Updated

edited August 2024 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

Time to go exploring. Change of plan/location. Launching at Budleigh we can head towards Sidmouth and paddle round the stacks at Ladram bay. This will be a good warm up paddle for anyone planning to go to Falmouth over the bank holiday weekend. Meet at Lime Kiln car park at 9.00 am. If you are loading boats at the club you can meet at 8.00 am. I will head straight to Budleigh. Bring snacks water and normal summer kayaking gear. This will be a half day paddle only. I aim to on the water by 9.30 off the water by circa 1.00pm for a late lunch back at home or the cafe on the beach at Budleigh. This is a change of plan. It was clear that enthusiasm was limited for a half day paddle in the South Hams. As stated above this will just be a warm up paddle for the full day trips down in Falmouth over the bank holiday weekend.

    Dave & Evelyn. Please note the change in venue and timing. Having spoken to some people we felt a trip to Challaborough for a half day paddle was a bit much. Please let me know if you still want to come.

    Thank you everyone for a lovely paddle and thank you Owen for leading. As a returner to paddling after a bit of a break, I always feel well looked after. Super club and fab leaders!
