August Bank Holiday Sea kayak trip to Falmouth
There will be a sea kayak trip to Falmouth on the August bank holiday weekend. We will stay at Tregedna Farm which is very friendly. This is a big springs weekend so the tides will be strong. The easier paddles will be on Saturday and Sunday with a more challenging paddle on the Monday. I have booked our group into the campsite, there is no need to make separate campsite bookings. The cost is approximately £8 per night and is collected whilst we are there.

There are several leaders on the weekend so we can take more people. This includes relatively inexperienced paddlers who would like to try sea kayaking on the Saturday and Sunday. If you have not done any sea paddling before please can you try out some of the club boats to find one that is comfortable for you and that you can paddle to Double Locks and back twice without difficulty. Sea kayak trips tend to have 2 hours in the boat before we get out on a beach and you need to be able to paddle comfortably for that period of time.
Maximum numbers are 24 but reserve list will operate as not everyone will want to paddle every day.

Thanks

I have booked into Tregedna Farm at that time (sans boat) to be a spectator and gain some experience of how to launch into the sea etc.
Maybe get some spectacular pix of the kayaking and Coast Path views.
Hope this is OK with you?
J.
Could you add Elizabeth Jardine to the waiting list as well please?
Thanks,
Chris
If anyone wants a lift i can take another (and camping/paddling kit). Let me know soon and if a club boat which boat as i will load on thursday night.
Please could you take a boat for Tony. He paddles a scorpio lv. Can you check with him on Tuesday whether he needs a lift from Okehampton as well. Many thanks
I'll be at Tregedna from Sunday for 5 days but not intending to paddle so I shouldn't be on your list. I'm intending to SOT fish (weather permitting), take photos and walk the coast path. Very happy to drink with the drinkers of course.

Liz from Tregedna has confirmed that we can stay over the weekend. The field is very wet and we are asked to be careful when we drive to avoid churning up the field but we can stay. Wellies may be a good idea.
Kwintin give me a ring on 01392 438 six seven 6 and we can arrange transport.
I need to load my boat as well. What time would suit you?
Kwintin if this suits you please meet us at Maclaines then as well.
Regards
Will and Susan.
Wondered what sort of time the trip on Saturday was likely to start ?
Stuart
On Saturday people are likely to discuss ideas for the day around 9am to 9.30am. If you are a bit late that wouldn't be a problem.
Kevin , Jane ,Brian , David Thanks for leading the teams I was in and making the days so enjoyable
Regards
Stuart
