Sea Trip Sunday 3 April, Amended in the light of weather forecast change Now meet at Saltash.

THIS TRIP HAS BEEN AMENDED IN THE LIGHT OF CHANGING WEATHER FORECAST.

We will now meet at Saltash, on the Cornwall side of the Tamar for a more sheltered trip than originally hoped for.

We will judge where to go when we see conditions on the day but we have several options. We know we can launch and recover just below the Saltash bridge at all states of the tide, and there are toilets there. Wherever we go, there is likely to be some paddling into the wind and against the tide but it will not be extreme!

Meet as planned at the club at 0800. I will meet you at Saltash soon after 0900.

See you in the morning.

Sunday is forecast to be a lovely day for a trip around Berry Head, from Brixham to Kingswear.

This trip will be for those with 2* kayak skills who have been in a sea kayak before but remember it is quite a long way so you will need some stamina! It is for Sea Kayaks only.....

Meet Jane at the club at 0800 to load boats and be at Brixham by 0900, on the water at 1000 after shuttle.

I will meet you at Brixham, in the car/coach park past the fish quays, you go on the side of the harbour opposite the breakwater then up the hill, following the signs for the car park. Getting there should be a bit quicker than we are used to now that the A380 has been opened between Newton Abbot and Torquay. We will finish at the car park in Kingswear by the steam railway.

    Forecast doesn't favour me so I'll stick with Saturday.

  • The tide shoupd be with us most of the way, 'though there might be a short stretch where it is against us but weak as it turns. Once in the river mouth it will be with us again. The wind is forecast to be behind us, 'though not necessarily directly behind us. Will know more tomorrow and can discuss with those who aren't sure of their abilities.
  • Hi , I would like to join the trip. Happy to help out if needed.

    Regards

    Graham
  • See changes on my original post. The changing weather forecast makes our originally planned trip more challenging than we would like!
