Tuesday 12 October, Sea Kayak Trip from Kingswear

Brian_ThomasBrian_Thomas
in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

Conditions look good for a trip on Tuesday!

We will paddle from Kingswear.

Boat loading time will be 9am at Maclaines. Anyone going straight to Kingswear, we will be arriving around 10am, towards high tide so the creek should be fullish.

We will paddle against the last of the flood until we reach the sea then with the tidal flow and against a light breeze. After lunch, the tidal flow will bring us back with the breeze until we get to the estuary when we will be against the last of the ebb tide. All is achievable!

Bring helmets as there can be rock hopping.

    Gill and Ros would like to join the trip tomorrow. We will need a kayak and club kit. Ros has a roof rack for one boat and I will need a lift with a kayak please.
    Thank you.

    I will be at Maclaines for 9am with space on my car for up to 2 sea kayaks in addition to my own...

    Hi Brian

    I suggest you take my blue avocet for Gill. Please remove the seat which is velcroed so that it doesn't come out during the journey.

    I'll leave a paddle in the boat as well, for Gill to borrow.

    I have got the forum to work again.
    Does it sound like I won't need to get the roof rack put on the car?
    If there is space in a car Gill and I could leave a car in marsh Barton or the long stay quay car park?

    Both double jabbed?

    Thanks Jane

    Both double jabbed but is there space?
  • GillScobieGillScobie
    Thanks Brian and Jane for the loan of your kayak and paddle, it is very kind of you.
    Will see you at Maclaines at 9.00am Brian
    Regards Gill

    Yes, there is space in the car for you both but I hope to pop in home for a meal between this trip and going to the club for the evening so you will probably need to leave your car part way there. I am unlikely to have time to go into Exeter and out again, or one of you could come to my home before 0830 and leave your car here. Six Mile Hill, Dunsford. Cowick Street and keep going to the 6 mile (from Exeter) mile stone. I'll email you the exact details if that works for you.

  • GillScobieGillScobie
    Yes, that will work for us leaving our car at your home. Just need exact details please. Thank you.

    OK, emailing directions shortly...
