Second thoughts. I couldn't get into the buoyancy aid space so I've put them just inside the side door of the boat sheds - where the short kayaks are kept. They're in a white bag marked "FAO Grant-B".
Ok, I'll leave them just inside the door of the space where the buoyancy aids are kept. I'll do that tomorrow lunchtime. Transfer details: Mr P W & Ms J T Schnepp, 089300 74009309. Cheers.
Hi Grant. Yes. How do we go about uniting you with them? I'm planning to be at the club on Saturday morning. I live in Ludwell Valley Park, Exeter. Are either of those any good?
Thanks Susan. Shall we say 8.00am and aim to get on the water by 09.30? Where is it best to park and launch - at the car park behind the railway station?
OK. Keep an eye on weather, presumably, but still ok this am. I'm not sure how much of a factor the strong flow in the river will be when you're down on the estuary, but plenty more rain over next 24 hours by the look of it.
I shall have a car and …
No worries if no-one fancies it but, if anyone does, we had talked about paddling back from Exmouth given the tides on that day, and the breeze is southerly. High around 2pm and running at its strongest between 10 and 12 in the morning. Not particul…
Do you want me to drive my car to the venue? If not, happy to contribute to someone's petrol or whatever, and I'll park mine near the club for the day.
Sorry. Not watching the ball. Um, transport of a boat: I have roof bars but the separation of the bars - about 700mm - makes it a bit iffy for boats of the size and weight of the club open boats. I had quite a struggle getting mine back from just th…
I now have family coming down to us for Xmas, arriving 21/12. Probably best if I don't commit to a trip that weekend. Interested in doing this trip in the New Year if anyone else is.
Having looked at tide tables for the period 23/11 to 15/12 I've concluded it might be better to consider starting from Exmouth and paddle to the club rather than the other way around. For the downstream trip, and allowing for short days, the latest …
I didn't mean to be hard and fast about dates. 6th and 20th October were possibles, allowing for tide, when I wrote the post. I'll look for a couple of future weekend dates beyond 20th October and see how that suits people.
What a mess! The mill leat that leads off from the top of the weir is pretty much dry now.
Don't hold your breath for a fix. I'd have thought it would be a summer job for starters and who knows where the money is going to come from. Isn't the City …
