An advance warning of a winter Estuary Paddle Launching at Totnes and following the tide down to Dittisham or Dartmouth waiting for the tide to turn pub lunch and returning to Totnes. This is a circa 4 hour paddle if we go all the way to Dartmouth. Sunday is currently looking the best but will review mid week and may change to Saturday if weather conditions look kinder. If Sunday a 9.30 meet at Totnes Longmarsh car park (next to steamer quay) You will just need your winter kayaking kit a snack , water and a flask. We will eat in a pub or cafe to allow time for the tide to turn. We aim to be off the water for 3.00pm. All levels welcome if you can paddle for up to 4 hours. Numbers will depend on the experience of those who sign up.

Sunday is the confirmed day for the trip (still subject to the final forecast on Saturday. I will confirm on Saturday morning)

    This sounds lovely... I'm a maybe, but can't commit at the moment. I'll confirm or not later in the week - I won't expect a place to be held tho', just an expression of interest!

    All. Looking at the Forecast I am still aiming for the Sunday. The forecast is not looking great but we will be in the shelter of the river. We will probably stop at Ditisham to avoid the exposed stretch of the river by Dartmouth College which can get a bit bumpy. For those of you who need lift and boat shares can I suggest you use this platform to coordinate boat loading and lifts. I will not be travelling via the club.

    I don’t think currently anyone is coming via the club? If that is the case I will just have to sit this one out 👍

    Ok so I can confirm the trip is on. Jane has just sent a text saying that she will be at the club for 8.00 and has space for two extra boats. Can Baa Evelyn and Connie please confirm your plans. Thanks.

    Thanks for the nudge, Evelyn…
    It was looking unlikely, but If there’s transport then yes, I’d love to :).
    I’ll be at the club for 8am - thank you all!
