Sunday 2nd May, Socially Distanced Sea Kayak Trip ** Updated **
The weather looks like being kind to us over the weekend but less so on Monday, as far as I can see at the moment.
If people with some sea kayak paddle experience are keen, I'll lead a trip on Saturday and/or Sunday. Details of where and times will be posted here nearer the time but please respond with preferred day(s).
Maximum 12 paddlers as we have 2 leaders and will split into 2 groups.
In the light of requests and the fact that I had forgotten about the canal clean up on Saturday, This trip will now be on Sunday!
I'm planning to go to Brixham. Meet at 0800 at Maclains to load boats and I will meet you at Brixham at 0900. Plan is to confirm light conditions and paddle either in Torbay or if desired on the day round Berry Head and towards Dartmouth where there is some lovely scenery. Beyond Berry Head, the tidal flow will be with us until about 1400 when it will turn to help us back again. It will not be strong so we can turn back earlier if desired. Wind and swell are forecast to be light, although the wind could freshen as the afternoon progresses to blow us back!
All those signed up have plenty of experience to enjoy this trip so don't need a kit list! Bring lunch and a drink.
Car park location: Freshwater Quarry Car Park, Blackball Lane, Brixham TQ5 8BA.
Parking is payable by cash or card although the card machine can be temperamental. Toilets on the quay in Brixham are a short walk from the car park and cost 30p (also payable by card!).
As usual, no car sharing outside of households but roof racks can be shared.
Don't forget your favourite brand of sun screen!
Attended,

Owen and Liz, It will be great to have you along!
We can split into two groups to abide by social distancing requirements.
I'd like to join you but I'm on grandad duties. Have a great day.
Ok see you there.
Lee, Ellie and Richard, delighted to have you along, we are clearly now two distinct groups on the water to comply with regulations....
That's a shame Stuart, hope to recover soon...
Thanks everyone. Clocked up 19.51km
A grand day out. Thanks all.
