Weather and other factors permitting there will be at least one sea kayak trip this weekend. It will be suitable for those on the sea kayak 3* course and anyone else with at least some sea kayak experience.

Location and timings are yet to be decided but suggestions are welcome but the current weather forecast makes Saturday the more likely day!

Of course, those attending will need to make arrangements to get themselves, their kit and the kayaks they use to and from the event!

If interested, please post here with preferences and I will try to accommodate them.

Please also feel free to use this post to make transport arrangements between yourselves.

I am likely to be going direct from Moretonhampstead but willing to take up to two others who can get themselves, their kayaks and their kit to me. I expect to arrive late Friday evening so won't be able to collect kayaks from the club.

Initially available to up to 6 paddlers but more if other experienced paddlers sign up.

See you at the weekend,

Brian.

    I'd be keen to paddle Saturday, can't do Sunday.

    I will be up for a paddle if the wind stays kind. I will bring Henry with me. Owen

    Yes, the weather looks better for us tomorrow, Saturday than Sunday. Wind looks to be around f4 from the west so maybe Torbay would be a good bet to have the opportunity for shelter from the wind and the opportunity to play in the waves it creates? We don't seem to have any beginners looking to join us. How about 10am in the car park by the college on the west side of Brixham Harbour? It will be just after low tide then but we should have relatively easy access to the water.

    We will have options, maybe a run to Kingswear with about a mile against the wind, a trip around Torbay or just out to the waves, we can decide upon arrival.

    I won't be going to the club in the morning, I am still in London, expecting to arrive in Moretonhampstead at about 11pm tonight.

    Please make plans amongst yourselves and help Tony if you can.

    See you at Brixham.

    Brian.

    Tony. I will be at the club at 8.30 am and so can help you to load your boat however I will not be able to carry it because my roof bars can only take two boats and I will have my own boat and a club boat for Henry. I will probably head home on Saturday afternoon and drop the club boat back on Sunday to avoid the traffic in town.
    Brian - I am flexible with what we do. See you at 10.00

    On the left as you look out over the harbour. One way to it is to go past the harbour on your right and up the hill then right down again...
