edited March 2020 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

Now that the weather seems to have calmed down it looks like it will be possible to have a sea kayak trip on Sunday. The aim will be for a trip suitable for people who have paddled on the sea before.

UPDATE

Owing to the weather forecast this trip needs to change to a fitness paddle, as the forecast is F5, gusting F7. This is suited only to Nigel and Kwinten, assuming Nigel is happy to have another paddle in strong winds. As it is LW c 11am it will need to be Plymouth Sound: it offers places to be sheltered from the worst of the winds. Let me know if you want to come.

Meet 8.30am at the club or 9.45am at Mountbatten. Kwinten is coming to the club, so Nigel you are welcome to go straight to Plymouth if you wish.

Max 6 people initially, unless some experienced paddlers sign up.

    I will be up for this if the weather forecast for Sunday improves. Currently showing 40knots at Exmouth but it could come through early. Saturday currently looking kinder but much can change in three days

    Looks like our hopes for a calmer weekend will be thwarted. :(
    I'll make a decision nearer the time.

    I am still watching the weather forecast. I might not be a fair weather kayaker, I can live with the rain but I am a fair wind kayaker

    Think my comment might have missed the update. 🙁 But no worries if it's not my level.

    Hi Maggie
    Sorry as it is F5 gusting F7 this will be too much for you. It's great that you want to try paddling in stronger winds, but the time to do this is when the weather forecast is F3 gusting F5. When you are comfortable in this then you can try more windy conditions. I'll try to put on some trips in F3 -5 when I can, but it is not in my control.

    I'm not paddling weekends of 15-16 and 21-22 March, but plan to put on a trip on Sat 28 March.

    Sorry Jane just looked at the weather forecast and it is not getting kinder. Also we are out at a 50th Birthday party tonight so need to commit now.and load my boat if I am coming. As such I think I will pass on this one..

    I will see you at 09.45n at Mountbatton.

    Rob, yes, but this will be an alternative single day trip. No problem re the club offering more than one trip on a day.
