Bank holiday weekend 27/29 August Falmouth sea kayaking

edited August 2016 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours
There will be a sea kayaking trip based at Falmouth on the bank holiday weekend. This will suit paddlers of 2* standard upwards and who have done at least 2 club touring trips or sea kayaking trips comfortably. The paddle on the Monday is likely to be a 3* standard paddle.

We will be based at Tregedna Farm, near Swanpool and Maenporth beaches. No need to book the campsite individually, I have booked us in as a group. The cost is £8.50 per person per night.

    Andy Benham, I rang up to book space (but not hook up) and they said it was actually the end of the high season and no problem for space at all. So if you don't want to commit to booking a hook up, I think you could wing it.

    Suggest meeting at the club on Tuesday around 8.30-9pm to agree transport etc.
    Also the quay is closed on Friday for the solo climbing wall event so boats need to be loaded up on Thursday.
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe
    I will try to be there on Tuesday.

    I plan to go to Cornwall straight from work on Friday, so cannot transport people. However, I can take another 2 kayaks and kit if loaded on Thursday

    Liz and I will try to come down on the Sunday although it is probably only me who will go Kayaking. I need to work on my 3* skills prior to my assessment. (liz will probably go walking) Liz has some singing commitments on the saturday and we will probably drive down saturday evening to be ready for an early start on Sunday. We will probably drive back Sunday night.

    Transport & Firewood

    Apologies can't make tomorrows meeting due to work commitments

    Firewood
    as requested I have cut some fire wood ( x 2 bags ) plus bit of kindling which will be in the Maclean shed Wed. If you don't want it all I am ok if somebody else wants it ...but I would like bags back.

    Transport. I will be going down Friday afternoon back on Sunday evening

    People - can transport 1 poss 2 there and back.

    Boats ... I am taking my own . Possibly the delphin for Andy B if your ok with that see Andys request above

    Regards

    Stuart

    I am not going to be make tomorrow night - my car is in bits on the drive and I have run out of time this evening to get it back on the road. I am therefore going to need to fix it tomorrow evening.

    I plan to travel down from Okehampton after work on Friday (assuming I can get mobile) and return Monday evening. If it all goes wrong, I will come down on Saturday evening instead. As I will not be coming all of the way back to Exeter, it makes sense if I travel independently.

    I can take 2 extra boats/ 1 person plus kit going down after work Friday back monday. (Ideally need to look to leave falmouth by 4)
  • JaneEvansJaneEvans
    I have updated the opening post with who is taking which boats as greed last night.

    Re loading on Thursday, I will be back from Oxford late. Would anyone be willing to come to Maclaines and help me load boats at say 9pm? Sorry it is so late.
  • Jacqui_SJacqui_S
    Sorry not able to be there on Tuesday. Am going tomorrow early and staying until Wed am. See you all. Cheers J
  • MikeBMikeB
    If you fancy picking me up, ill come down and load with you!
  • JaneEvansJaneEvans
    ok will do. I'll call you when I get back. Thank you.
  • JamieMarshJamieMarsh
    Can't make it for the weekend but maybe join in at some stage. What time do you expect to leave camp for kayaking?
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe
    I am sorry to see that Naomi cannot come, but I have already picked up a boat and paddle for her. It does mean that you need to pick up one less LV Scorpio.
  • MikeBMikeB
    Jane was bringing the third one. We'll leave tbat one at the club
  • JaneEvansJaneEvans
    Hi Jamie

    You are welcome to join us on any day that you can make. Please come to the campsite for 9am and then we will set off. Best if you let us know by a post here that you are coming.
  • JamieMarshJamieMarsh
    Thanks for this - won't happen now as Jane has slipped on Dartmoor and can't walk properly due to a fat and painful ankle. Hope you all have a great time.
  • JaneEvansJaneEvans
    Ouch. Hope you get better soon.
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe
    Thanks all - an excellent 3 days of paddling in glorious surroundings.
  • MikeBMikeB
    Totally agree with Nigel. Great weekend paddling (ok my back was playing up Sunday) beautiful surroundings, great company .

    Thanks all
  • Richard_KnottRichard_Knott
    Great way to spend the bank holiday weekend. Thank you all! Richard & Ellie.
  • OwenMichaelsonOwenMichaelson
    What a great place to stay and paddle. Pity I could only join you on the Sunday. As ever we need to get balance into family life and we had a fab walk around st Anthony's head and along the Helford River. So all the same views but from a height of 150 ft! Owen
  • Jacqui_SJacqui_S
