Katherine & Chris. If you need a lift down to Cornwall I can assist provided that you are able to organise others to take your boats. I will not be going down to the campsite until Saturday morning. (My son is at home on Friday and we have agree…
Jo. It will be windy and at times a bit of a slog into the wind and you will need to work hard to control the direction. I suggest you might enjoy a different day. I have chatted you Jane and it will be more of an endurance day rather than a skills …
A slight change of plan for me. I will still paddle for the 3 days but will drive down early Saturday morning and meet you all at the campsite by 8.30. If anyone wants to lift share I will leave EBFORD at 6.30 am and return on the Monday evening aft…
Steve/Martin. My car can take 3 boats if I use the appropriate roof rack. Since we all have our own boats I assume wr can meet on the outskirts of Exeter. Martin - am I right in remembering that you live in Exminster? That would be good for them jum…
I csn no longer stay away on the Saturday evening (social conflict) Subject to where you end up paddling I will try to join you for one or both of the days.
Sorry Maggie. Whilst I have been doing the training, I have now committed to another trip that first week in August. Let’s keep talking if you shift the date (noting that the group preference is the first window)
Sorry Nigel. Sounds interesting and I have never paddled this bit of coast. Unfortunately I will not be back home in time on Saturday to pack kit and get back to Boscastle
From memory I think that I have only been kayaking in Dorset once before. As such Dorset would be my first choice if conditions work for this. Also noting that the Falmouth trip is just two weeks later.
Maggie. I am home and flexible that first week in August. I am doing a reasonable amount of paddling at present (50km this weekend) but have never sat in my seat for 7 hours. Keep me as a provisional and we can discuss if I am ready off line.
All. My plan is to stick to Plan A and to launch from Challaborough and end the Day at Averton Gifford. It will involve a bit of a car shuttle. The best plan would be to meet at Challaborough. Offload boats and then take all cars back to Averton Gif…
All. We will need to continue to watch the weather forecast. Some shitty weather coming through this week but it is currently showing as clearing by Sunday. Windguru is still showing 1.5m - 2m swell with gusts up F5. Interestingly the wind is from t…
Can I sign up as a provisional first reserve please. If Maggie is able to clear her Saturday I will respect the rule of 6 and step back. I still need to work out my logistics for the week so please keep me as a provisional please.
Connor. You will need to use this thread to see if you can arrange help with the boat and lift share etc. in my mind you need to meet at 8.00 and leave by 8.30 (I am not able to help. I will already be in Cornwall and will travel direct) I would est…
Evelyn. Currently separate. We were trying to coordinate but wind and tides were not being helpful. Please continue to watch this thread because I might yet adapt this trip is the forecast changes significantly
Jane. I will liaise with you closer to Easter when we have a reliable forecast. We might be down in Cornwall for the weekend and if we are, I might put something on out of either Daymar Bay or Port Quin.
