Autumn colours as we set off.

Hi Emma yes I'm expecting you.
-
Its looking like the weather will provide us the right conditions for the award on Sunday. We'll meet at Steamer Quay car park in Totnes at 09:30. Please could you take a look at the weather forecast before Sunday so we can discuss the likely imp…

15th October. Winds are likely to be less than required for the SUP sheltered water award on Sunday. I'm happy to run a general SUP paddle from the club if people would still like to paddle.
-
@Willembliss i use bike lights on my kayak. I attach them to the kayak but other people attach to their buoyancy aid.
-
I'm not running anything this weekend 7th 8th.
-
I'm happy to run sessions on 15th and 22nd October. I think that will provide everyone with at least one opportunity - weather permitting. 15th October we will paddle from the club (due to the tides)- meet at the club house at 09:30 22nd October…

HI Gill. Yes we'll look at towing tonight. Trying out the techniques we discussed last week.
-
Potential dates and locations weather permitting: 7th or 8th October Totnes 15th October Exeter 21st or 22nd October Totnes Please could you let me know what works for you.

Unfortunately wind speeds are still too high tomorrow (24 September) for SUP sheltered water. I'll post some more potential dates soon.
-
Great photos Christina. Thanks for sharing.
-
I've added my interpretation of the skills list (see above). Looking at the weather forecast, conditions may be marginal this Tuesday so if the wind speed doesn't decrease we may stay off the water and cover some of the additional skills (see abo…

So it appears that there is a harbour festival taking place in Exeter on the 24th. Would people be happy to travel to Totnes?
-
Will and I would like to join you.

Hi Maggie, We are doing multi craft rescue practice on Wednesday 16th and 30th August. You're welcome to come along to one or both of the sessions.
-
Yes please
-
Does this replace the Wednesday sessions?
-
Update: In the current weather forecast it looks like the thunderstorms will pass to the north of Totnes so we are good to go. Plan is to paddle up river, to Totnes Weir and possibly beyond onto the Dartington estate. We'll stop for lunch at or a…

I'm sorry Jane but I'm going to have to drop out. My back is a bit too tweaky to sit on a kayak all day. Susan
-
We'd like to come too please. Susan and Will
-
Yes please and thank you. Also happy to help coaching.
-
Sorry I don't like the look of Sundays weather so I'm going to give this one a miss.
-
Mike, thanks for a great day. Highlights of the day for me were the kingfishers and the swimming grass snake.
-
The courses last 3 years and the refresher is the same length as the original. Many of the British Canoeing qualifications require a 2 day first aid course. The exceptions are the old Level 1coach which (I think) still only requires an 1 day c…

Chloe, I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope the foot isn't badly broken and wish you a speedy recovery.
-
For anyone who needs CPD points I have had confirmation that this will provide 10 CPD points and I will email everyone who attends details of how to claim the points after Wednesday.
-
As we need 6 people to make this course viable this course has been postponed until spring.
-
See you next week Chloe.
-
River levels are currently very very low and unlikely to rise much over the month. Thinking that it might be better to head to Purbeck and Poole Harbour for this weekend in September and do some open water open canoeing, hopefully including some can…
