Sat 15 August sea kayak trip UPDATED

There will be a sea kayak trip on Saturday. The intention is to provide a trip that is suitable for people’s first trip on the sea: it is due to be flat calm. Paddlers should already be comfortable paddling a sea kayak and be able to paddle at least six miles. Information on the kit required is here:
https://www.exetercanoeclub.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Club-Trips-Info.pdf
More experienced paddlers are welcome as well.

There will be practice rescues as part of the day, probably before the end of the trip.
Maximum of 12 people, as Owen has agreed to lead as well. We can share boat transport but not cars for people.

Plan is to go to Exmouth, and be early so we can get spaces in the car park: go to the one near the RNLI station. It is a bit cheaper than the sea front. Be there for 8.30am.

Boat loading at the club on Friday evening: Jane can take Tom's boat. Anyone else need a lift for a boat?

    Jane. If there is space please count me in although like others I am happy to give up my place for beginners if it gets busy. As an alternative I am happy to lead a second trip in the same direction if we get more than 6. My only challenge is that I will need help with my boat because Henry is borrowing our Only car With a roof rack to head up to Scotland. David if you confirm perhaps I can talk you into picking up my boat as you drive down the M5. It is a shorter detour than the club. We do have a spare non roof rack car.

    I'm definitely interested. Sign me up if there is space.

    Great! I’ll see you at Exmouth 8.30am. 5-6 hours car parking?

    Owen: happy to pick up your boat on the way. I think I can remember how to get to your ranch but best to text me your postcode (07786861513) just to make sure. Ill aim for 7.50.

    David. Thanks. EX3 0PA. Will also text it through. If I can also give you my kit I will cycle down, timing is fine.

    Let’s meet at maclaines at 6pm. Kwinten, if you ask nicely, you can buy stuff from AS and they will put it in the boat shed for you.
