August Bank Holiday Weekend 23-25 August Falmouth sea kayak trip

There will be a sea kayak weekend in Falmouth. There will be various trips offered each day, according to the weather conditions and what people want to do. To come on this trip you need to be at Explore standard or above, and to be able to paddle a minimum of 8 miles a day. This is an ideal trip for new club sea kayakers.
Please also make sure that you have found a comfortable boat, and that you have made a note of which boat it is.
Camping at Tregedna Farm, near Falmouth. https://tregednafarmholidays.co.uk/
Sea kayaking with trips for all standards. The only requirement is that we meet at 9am each morning to plan the trips for the day. I expect that people will start arriving at the campsite on Friday evening from c 5pm, but that is for each person to decide for themselves. There are good beaches at Swanpool and Maenporth within half a mile of the campsite.
Camping: I have booked us into the campsite and we will pay cash £13 pppn when we are there. Please bring cash for the campsite and for parking. National Trust cards are useful if you are a member as they have some car parks. If you want an elec hookup or a caravan space please book directly.

*** Remember cash for payment***
If you could please ask your group to book in at the shop / reception which is a new building which you will see as your drive in .
I am in there from 5-7pm , if it's before or after this time then just call me, my number is on the board as you arrive.
Many thanks Ali

  • I can't make it this year and unfortunately now Alf has moved up to the scout section I have realised this date will clash with his summer camp every year for the next 4 years. Will see how it goes this year and if he doesn't need me to 121 I may be able to join this trip instead next year!

    Looking forward to joining you. We’ve missed the last couple of years. Richard & Ellie.
  • I'd like to join and take the blue LV North Shore boat please

  • Me and Chris would like to come please - we'll check boats in the next couple of weeks
  • Checked boats and I'd like to take the orange Virgo and Chris the red Etain please
  • Planning to come along please

  • I am planning on joining the trip. Thanks
  • Hey - I would like to come please if it is possible to get a lift for a boat. Generally paddle one of the LVs but something similar is fine. Thanks - Kathy
  • I'm in! I'll take the aquanaut if it's still available (and seaworthy)
  • I have just spent the weekend at the Summer Camp Festival at Trefusis Estate. FLUSHING AND GILLY BEACHES HAVE SAUNAS ON THEM! https://www.kilnsauna.com/ We went twice and it is absolutely brilliant. Lynn and I will definitely book up to go one evening. Let me know if you want to join us. £8 for 30 mins £12 for 45 mins. Gilly Beach sauna is much nearer and has spots available Fri Sat Sun and Mon.

  • I would like to take the Yellow Avocet LV (458?)

  • I think I have already booked that one out will- just Jane hasn’t put it up 👍 sorry
  • A slight change of plan for me. I will still paddle for the 3 days but will drive down early Saturday morning and meet you all at the campsite by 8.30. If anyone wants to lift share I will leave EBFORD at 6.30 am and return on the Monday evening after paddling.

  • Hi Will, Jane has updated the chat with a suggestion for a boat for you ☺️- thank you Jane
  • Hi everyone I just wondered if this might be the time to start thinking together about who might be needing lifts for themself and or boats and who might be in a position to offer a lift to someone and/or a boat?
    It usually takes a bit of coordination... Then magically all comes together on the end! (hopefully)
  • Yes please with my own boat(!)

  • Most of us are planning to load Thursday evening if that helps 👍 Dave, Tom and Laura sound like they will be loading then
  • I won't be able to make it this year anymore.

  • I'm not able to come any more, so the Blue Avocet LV is available
  • I'll come to the club on Thurs eve as well. What time?
