edited December 2025 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours
Sea kayak trip, from the club, down the river to Topsham and back up the Canal to the club. Depending on what the group would like to do and the weather, we can stop at Turf or Double Lock for a coffee.

Suitable for anyone whose done the beginners course, you'll need lights as it might be getting dark for the last stretch from Double Locks to the club.

Meet 1230 at the club to leave by 1300. By back to the club by 1630 depending on stops.

Santa hats optional.

    Yeah lights would be sensible, some forecast have strong winds from the south, but we can shorten the river section if needs be on the day.

    I was thinking we should check the flow on the river. When I went past yesterday it was still strong over and beyond the weir because of the rain and it is raining again now.

    My feeling is to stick to the canal as the river was like white water! My rescue skills are not up to that despite throwline training.
