UPDATE Sun 11 May small group SK trip
UPDATE
Although the forecast is for sun and showers tomorrow there's also a risk of thunderstorms, which would push us off the water. So we need to adjust.
For those who still want to paddle, and can shift into the late afternoon / early evening, we can meet at Teignmouth lower car park, by the lifeboat station, at 3pm for on the water 4pm. That's two hours before high water on a tide midway between neaps and springs. There may be an opportunity to venture out into a swell. There should be moving water to experience around the bridge piers. There will definitely be scope for a fitness paddle up the estuary. It's not too far to travel for a relatively short paddle. Back beach is also good for practicing rolls and rescues.
If this doesn't suit, feel free to drop out via the comments. There will be other opportunities.
ORIGINAL
I will run a trip for up to 4 people who want a day with supportive opportunities to embed skills, rather than only going on a journey. Location Bring helmets for rock hoping and usual sea kayak kit. Plastic boats recommended. Location TBC, probably on Friday. The following people have expressed an interest. If anyone can no longer make it, let me know and I'll open up a place.

Will - Maggie is very kindly transporting a boat for me, which she’s already collected, so I wondered whether you would be willing to transport it back to the club for me? This would save Maggie a lot of time tomorrow evening. I won’t need a lift.
Can I take the empty space?
