Sea kayak trip Sun 20th Sept - forecast now not suitable for beginners
This trip is open to everyone including beginners. The plan is to launch from Challaborough and head west to the River Erme and back again. It's a beautiful section of coast with opportunities for rock hopping and maybe some surfing. Wind is currently forecast to be F1-2, swell is 0.7 m at 11 s and we'll be on neap tides. I'll update if the forecast changes.
Meet at 08:30 at the club to load boats or 10:00 at Challaborough beach car park. It's quite an expensive car park and a relatively long drive, so lift sharing is encouraged. Helmets are needed along with usual paddling gear, packed lunch and clothing suitable for the water. I expect we'll get back to the club about 5 pm.
Please sign up if you'd like to come and indicate your transport plans. I can offer a lift to one other person and their boat from the club. Maximum 6 people including me unless another leader signs up.
Update:
The forecast still looks good, but no longer suitable for any last minute beginner sign ups unfortunately. There is a little more wind at F2/3 with possible gusts up to F4 and swell of 0.9 m, reducing to 0.7 m at 11 s. The coastal section will be going against conditions on the way out and with a following sea on the way back.
See you at the club at 08:30.
