Sea kayak trip - Lulworth - Saturday 19 September

Nigel_Sharpe

Is anyone interested in a sea kayak trip from Lulworth on Saturday? Please respond below. Numbers may be limited.

This is a fantastic piece of coast, and we would take in Lulworth Cove, Man o War Cove, Mupe Cove & Durdle Door. The weather looks good with light northerly winds (and we would be tucked under the cliffs).

It would be suitable for those who have completed the intermediate sea kayak course on Tuesday evenings, and others of 2 star standard who have paddled on the sea before. There may be a some swell.

Bring warm clothes, plenty of water and a packed lunch. A list of kit is at http://www.exetercanoeclub.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Equipment-for-Sea-Kayak-Trips.pdf

The plan would be to meet at the Club at 8am, and at Lulworth at 10am. We would aim to be off the water by 3pm ish and back in Exeter by 6pm.

Booked so far:

Note - we may be competing with the beginner's touring trip for Club sea kayaks. I think that we ought to give them precedence on boats as their trip was booked first. I have asked how many they will need.

Nigel_Sharpe

Jon, --- Susan seems to think there are 13 Club boats, and they will need 10, so 3 goin spare. First come, first served?

Tony, no problems - I will ring you after 6pm.

I would like to join this. I can bring my Capella if we are short of boats, but I will go direct from Taunton to Lulworth. Let me know if I should bring Capella, otherwise I won't.

Davids x 2, See you at Lulworth carpark at 10.00ish. There is only Tony who needs a boat and we will get the LV Scorpio he normally wrecks, so no need for the Capella.

We may be able to get down to the bottom to unload if not busy, but will almost certainly struggle to get down there at the end of the day. If people have a trolley, it will be well worth bringing.

I will see everyone else at the Club at 8am.

It looks like my name is on the list. I would have loved to have joined you however I have just seen the information and unfortunately I have promised to take my son to a tennis match this morning so I am unable to change my plans. Enjoy the trip. Owen Michaelson
