You need to have passed SK award to come on this trip.
Meet 8.15am at the cub or 9.30am at Hele Bay car park EX34 9QZ. Plan is to paddle to Combe Martin or nearby and back.

If you would prefer to go on a trip with Maggie that is fine.

Trolleys are useful. Helmets essential. Rock hopping is likely so choose your SK with that in mind. There may be some rescues that include swimming in rockhopping, so people can learn how to rescue themselves.

Please can you confirm that you have seen that the trip is going to Hele. I put up an alternative earlier, and Maggie then suggested a more suitable trip for the swell conditions.

    Hi, I’d like to join this one please.

    Jane and I have been chatting about where we might go. One option is to make this a long paddle at least for those who are interested in an Eddystone trip later in the summer (three of us are signed up on Sunday already). But there may be other options that appeal more. ( I've put up an Eddystone friends thread. It would be nice if we can make it happen, but I've already done it twice so am relaxed if it doesn't.) @Rich_Bennett @Dave Turner what do you fancy?

    Hi. If we're going to the north coast, I don't suppose someone would be able to pick up a boat for me please?? The blue or orange Atlantic LV would be my preference and a club tow line. I'll make a trip to get a boat on Sat if not, but would come by the club on Sun morning if the trip goes somewhere on the south coast. The Eddystone's not my thing I'm afraid, but happy to go with group consensus for this trip. Thanks

    Hi Maggie. If there’s a chance to paddle in conditions on Sunday I would rather take that opportunity than a longer paddle in calmer conditions.
  • Dave TurnerDave Turner
    I'm happy to go with either
  • Maggie_WatsonMaggie_Watson
    That's fine with me. I'm just putting the option out there. There should be some swell and moving water on the north coast, given that it's quite springy.

    Trolleys still needed for Hele.
  • laurahallettlaurahallett

    I have seen it is from Hele. I will meet at the club.

    Christina, if someone else has your boat I'm happy to give you a lift from Winkleigh area. I'd be leaving at 8 and bringing my breakfast to have at the beach.

  • JasonrJasonr

  • Stuart_OgilvieStuart_Ogilvie

  • Christina_LevickChristina_Levick

    Maggie, a lift to Hele would be great please.
    Thanks for bringing a boat for me Jane.

  • Maggie_WatsonMaggie_Watson
    Top tips for Hele. Parking is free on a Sunday. We use the car park even if there is space past the 'gateway' as that is reserved for residents. I have seen Hele turn parking into an extreme sport on a sunny day at low tide, which it will be when we return. So I recommend parking so you can drive straight out.

    If no one else needs a lift I would love to car share as I am not a confident driver. (However I have a rack if needed.)If I know in advance I can leave my car the other side of the river and walk over the bridge with my kit to the club to save dropping the car on Marsh Barton. Happy o go with flow…….

  • Dave TurnerDave Turner
    Laura, I can give you a lift.
  • JaneEvansJaneEvans

    Maggie says the drive to Hele will take longer so allow a bit more time. Richard and I are going direct to Hele.

  • Stuart_OgilvieStuart_Ogilvie

    Think everyone sorted . if so I will go straight to Hele if not leave a post and I will go down to the club

  • Rich_BennettRich_Bennett
