  • unfortunately I have been unwell, so not fut enough for this. next year I hope!

  • I will come and try next Tuesday eve but think I would to reserve the sportive

  • Places still available. I cannot make a commitment to assessing the SK award, as leaders will be needed for the whole group. It may be possible to work things out once we are on the weekend.

  • Hey
    Just wondering if anyone might be able to transport a boat for me please (I can drive me there but can't take the kayak) - very happy to contribute to petrol and parking and provide thank you cake etc!
    Kathy
  • Just wondering if the yellow avocet has been fixed? Thanks ☺️
  • Not yet, but 2 newish composite Atlantic lvs have arrived in shed if you want to try!
  • Are they similar in size?
  • Jane, I could take a boat on Thursday and return it Tuesday as I will be staying in Falmouth that weekend. Would this help anyone?
  • Evelyn, no idea, I cant get into either! best thing is to try it.

  • @kjc - Kathy, does Jacqui's offer help at all?

  • I’ve got space for 1 extra person & boat
  • I think Catherine and Kathy were looking for help with carrying boats but I think Kathy maybe on a plane home so may take a min to respond
  • Do you know Mike if the yellow avocet may be fixed in time? I hear it has gone for repairs? lf not I may need to come back off holiday early to try out boats? Maybe someone could let me know ☺️ thank you
  • It was in the shed yesterday, so not aware it has gone anywhere yet
  • @JaneEvans were you able to transport a boat for me? I'll be at the club tomorrow, so can help load boats then, or later in the week.
  • Jason has kindly emailed to say that he will try to fix the yellow glass Avocet LV this week, and if he does so he will take it down to Falmouth.

  • Thanks Jason! ☺️ thanks Jane for your help ☺️
  • Hi Catherine
    Yes loading boats on Tues evening is my plan.

    I've confirmed our booking at the campsite, and received this in the reply:
    Just also to say that I have a shop / reception at the site, which is wooden building you'll see as you arrive . We sell bacon, sausage and burgers from our local butchers and I will be putting an order in for the Friday , do you think any of your guys would be interested? They have sliced bread, and milk.

    I have now had it confirmed that we can use a firepit provided we burn charcoal, but not wood. Presumably if others have a barbecue then we can use that as well.

  • Martin, if I was able to grab a lift for me and a boat that would be awesome and we could save the world by one less car going down.
  • Planning to load a Scorpio tomorrow.
  • Ok. Ruth are you able to bring your van? If so, I’ll take Kathy. If not, we’ll need to find another boat space somewhere
  • Yes I can do that no problem.
    Unless someone else is driving back Sunday and has a space?

  • Jacqui has offered a boat space if needed. Would need to load tonight
  • Kathy: what time on Friday are you available to load and travel? I can do from 4 onwards
    Ruth: we’ll help you load if you haven’t already
  • Martin - whenever works for you is good with me - equally though if me travelling independently or someone else who has offered to take a boat is more convenient for you that's not a problem at all. Really appreciate everyone's kindness
  • Let's say 4pm Fri at club

  • Awesome - thank you!
  • I’ve taken the yellow composite Avecot home and done the repair to the cracked skeg box this evening. This will now be good to use at Falmouth and beyond. I have also picked up the yellow Scorpio LV for Lucy which I’ll be taking down to Falmouth along with the Avocet. I can also collect the pink kayak for Catherine on Friday evening if required and take this down with me. Let me know. Cheers

  • I'll aim to collect a boat from the club on Thursday night or failing that 5-5:30 on Friday. I'll be travelling from the Okehampton area on Saturday and can arrive for afternoon paddling if lunch for any trips happens to be by an accessible launch site, but otherwise will arrive at the campsite late afternoon/evening. Happy to collect a boat and/or person if those plans work out for anyone? Will bring a disposable BBQ also that people are welcome to use.
