Sunday 31 July, Sea/Estuary Paddle Updated, Kingswear
I will lead a sea or estuary paddle, depending upon prevailing conditions and uptake, on Sunday 31 July.
A sea paddle will be for Sea Kayaks only while if we go on an estuary, it will also be suitable for canoes.
So, let me know who wants to join in and what your craft preference is before I make detailed plans on Friday!
Should accommodate up to 6 craft, solo or tandem, more if another leader or competent helper joins us.
Keep an eye here on Friday/Saturday for times and location but sign up before then!
Conditions allowing, we should have a fairly early, but not as early as last week, start and finish by around 4pm.
Come out to play!
********************************Update**********************************
Kingswear Marina Car Park looks a good place to meet on Sunday. I suggest a sea paddle in calm conditions towards Slapton Sands and back. The tidal flow is weak but will be with us both ways and we will be sheltered from the Westerly F3 wind. In addition, a Sunny day is forecast! So, some rock hopping and cove exploration and lunch on a beach. Sound good?
Like Saturday's trip from Brixham, this will suit all abilities as long as you have spent some time in a sea kayak and can paddle it for a couple of hours at a time.
Alternatively, we could paddle up river to Totnes with the tide but against F3 wind.
How can we waste the sea conditions???
Meet at Kingswear Marina Car Park at 9am. Bring money to pay for parking, lunch, drinks and sunscreen.
Bring all the usual sea kayaking kit, ask if you are not sure. Helmets for rock hopping, if you want to do it.
High tide is 1700 but I need to be away before then.
Can anyone bring Chris and/or a kayak for him, please?
I suggest you will need to collect boats from the shed at about 0745, I will meet you at the Marina as I have my kayak with me in Moretonhampstead. Happy to car share if anyone wants to be with me by 0800?
