Sunday 22nd October - Sea Kayaking Camel Estuary North Cornwall - Cancelled 20 ft swell forecast
I am happy to organise a sea kayaking trip to North Cornwall provided that someone who is qualified signs up and can do the leading on the water. My suggestion would be to launch and recover at Daymar Bay (which has all day parking and is sheltered for sea kayak launching in most weathers) If the weather is good enough head round to Port Quin or Trevose depending on tides which I have not yet checked.if the conditions are kind we can go further. If the wind or surf is up we can explore the estuary and go rock hopping. We cannot go up to Wadebridge as a plan B because low water on the Sunday is at 13.45. Subject to an experienced leader signing up I would suggest a maximum of eight people. I will be in Cornwall for part of the the half term week so cannot help with logistics. Travel time from Exeter is circa 1 hour 30 minutes max so I would suggest an 8.00 am meet at the club for 8.30 departure or 10.00 am at Daymar with an aim of being on the water by 11.00 It could be getting colder so off the water by circa 3.00pm and back to Exeter by 6.00pm even if we allow for tea and cake. This part of North Cornwall is unforgiving so please check posts in the prior week because if the swell or wind is right up I may need to review because there is no sheltered alternatives in this part of Cornwall.

I am around to paddle next Sunday, but the weather forecast is not friendly for paddling on the sea. 5.0m swell forecast and F7 gusting 8 is a bit out of my comfort zone. Even the estuary will be too rough. I am going to put on an alternative trip in Plymouth Sound, see other thread.
