Saturday 18th Sea Kayaking Explorers Trip South Hams

edited July 16 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours
An explorers trip from Challaborough to explore Burgh Island and either the River Avon or River Erme. With a high tide mid morning we can explore one of these rivers before heading back out to sea to explore the coast and Burgh Island. The sea conditions on the day will dictate the final plan. Provided that we aim to be in the car park for 8.30 there will be no problem parking. Off the water by 2.30 and packed up by 3.00pm to avoid the traffic on the journey home. I was down at Bigbury last week and with these timings it meant we avoided all the Tourist chaos. If you need a club boat I would recommend loading your boats on Friday evening and leaving Exeter at 7.30am.

    I am free to come. Dave are you still happy to grab a boat for me? Either Jane’s old one if you two are in fibreglass boats or a sportif. See you Saturday.Thanks

    Dave/Laura. How would you both feel about moving the trip to Saturday. The conditions will be much kinder for this trip. The current forecast is showing the wind and swell picking up on Sunday and thus can make the entrance to the two rivers a bit spicy. It would be good to get your feedback before I make a call and republish the trip.

    Trip moved to Saturday. Can you all please confirm if this still works for you and your travel/boat plans. Dave. The forecast should be suitable for the group you are teavhing to give them sea experience. This said your call. You know the skills in the group. .

    I'm picking up a boat/towline for Laura Friday evening, and will liaise with her direct to figure out lift share down Saturday morning.

    Thanks Dave. If anyone else signs up I can provide a lift. If not I will see you down there. I am assuming that Nigel will go direct?
