Sea Kayak Trip, Tuesday 10 August, Teignmouth

There will be a sea kayak trip from Teignmouth on Tuesday 10 August.

Plan is to meet at the car park by Teignmouth lifeboat station at 10am, or the boatshed at 9am. We will paddle towards Dawlish and Exmouth and stop for lunch when we are ready. Tidal flow will be with us both ways! Wind is forecast SW no more than f3 so against us on the return. That said, we should be relatively sheltered from it most of the time. Swell is forecast under 2 feet which is as low as the forecast goes.

The trip will be suitable for anyone who has completed explore training with the club or is of a similar standard.

As always, the arrangement is that all paddlers are responsible for ensuring their craft, whether their own or borrowed from the club, are transported to the start and returned to the shed afterwards. That said, I have space for 2 additional kayaks on my car and other paddlers may also be able to offer similar. Paddlers seeking this help need to ensure they make appropriate arrangements in advance of the trip and attend the shed to assist with loading and unloading!

Those still wanting more can be ready for the club Tuesday evening session at 1815.

Bring your usual paddling kit and lunch.

Parking is supposed to be payable by cash or card although sometimes the card machine doesn't work. Toilets at the car park and I think cost 30p, coins or card.
