edited August 2024 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

There will be a sea kayak weekend in Falmouth. There will be various trips offered each day, according to the weather conditions and what people want to do. To come on this trip you need to be at Explore standard or above, and to be able to paddle a minimum of 8 miles a day. Please also make sure that you have found a comfortable boat, and that you have made a note of which boat it is.
Camping at Tregedna Farm, near Falmouth. https://tregednafarmholidays.co.uk/
Sea kayaking with trips for all standards. The only requirement is that we meet at 9am each morning to plan the trips for the day. I expect that people will start arriving at the campsite on Friday evening from c 5pm, but that is for each person to decide for themselves. There are good beaches at Swanpool and Maenporth within half a mile of the campsite.
Camping: I have booked us into the campsite and we will pay cash £12.50 pppn when we are there. Please bring cash for the campsite and for parking. National Trust cards are useful if you are a member as they have some car parks. If you want an elec hookup or a caravan space please book directly.
*** Remember cash for payment***
If you could please ask your group to book in at the shop / reception which is a new building which you will see as your drive in .
I am in there from 5-7pm , if it's before or after this time then just call me, my number is on the board as you arrive.
Many thanks Ali

Update 2
It is due to be a windy weekend, but dry. Bring plenty of warm clothes, and a cag for paddling.

    Yes please. Green LV ideally as I am used to that. If I can scrounge a lift great but I do have a car!

  • Evelyn GawenEvelyn Gawen
    I would like to come, not sure of the sea kayak that fits me yet. And I don’t have a way of transporting the kayak?
  • Evelyn GawenEvelyn Gawen
    Hey Jane, I think the boat size I use is the yellow advocate LV- but they may already be being used- which one would you recommend? Thanks Evelyn ☺️
  • Maggie_WatsonMaggie_Watson
    I'd like to come for the Sunday/Monday.
  • ShelleyRhodesShelleyRhodes

    I see everyone is choosing a boat - as long as I have a boat I don't mind which one :-)
    Also, Alf and Simon are coming again this year so we will bring the van and can transport kit.

  • StephYeatesStephYeates
    Please can I swap my boat reservation to the orange Virgo lv? That’ll also free up the yellow avocet for Evelyn.
  • Evelyn GawenEvelyn Gawen
    Thank you that’s kind🌺, I don’t know the other boat names etc, so just went for the one Jane said would be a good fit. If you do change your mind I am sure someone will help me figure out another boat. Thank you Steph
  • Ruth_BellRuth_Bell

    Please can I sign up for this weekend. I will need to use a club boat, in the past I have used a Scorpio, but can be flexible, as I think they are already booked? Is there anything else I need to do to secure a place?

  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe

    I plan to be there. Own boat.

  • CatherineMCatherineM

    Sadly I won't be able to make this any more, so the blue avocet is free for someone else to use

  • Evelyn GawenEvelyn Gawen
    Hi Jane, just to let you know I won’t be camping, we are going to be staying close by though 👍
  • AlexMacAlexMac

    I will be taking a scorpio space for 3 boats total.

  • MikeBMikeB
    Fingers crossed, we will have 2 composite atlantic lvs as well for this weekend
  • CatherineMCatherineM

    Is it too late to sign up to this? Turns out I can make it after all.
    It looks like the pink boat is available still, can I claim that? And would anyone be able to transport a boat for me?

  • sabinemcewansabinemcewan

    Are there still spaces? will you be signing off things for the sea kayaking award?
