Bank holiday weekend 23/25 August Sea kayaking Falmouth

edited August 2014 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours
Advance notice of the sea kayaking weekend in Falmouth. The trip is aimed at paddlers who have paddled on the sea before and can comfortably paddle 10 miles in a day. There will be a more advanced paddle on the Monday. We will stay at Tregedna Farm and a booking has been made for the campsite. The cost is £8 per night and payment is made when we get there. They are very flexible so we can change numbers each evening. Maximum 20 people. 16 booked so far. I have increased the numbers to 20 as there are several leaders. We are likely to paddle in separate groups with decisions once we are there.

    I've booked 12 places at Tregedna Farm campsite, for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. £8 per night, they are very flexible so we can take different numbers.

    Hi Jane,
    I'm sure you know this, but the Tall Ships leave Falmouth on 25 August. Unless the weather is awful it's a wonderful spectacle, but every boat in Falmouth will be out.....including me. I'll look out for you. XX
  • WillMWillM
    I have just looked and according to the offical website and the Tall Ships festivities start on the 28th August.

    Quite right Will_i_m. My mistake.
  • Brian_ThomasBrian_Thomas
    If there is room for me, I'd like to join in, please. I can be there for Saturday and Sunday and will camp Saturday night only.
    Thanks, Brian

    £8 per night. We pay when we get there. It's a very relaxed campsite.
  • JaneEvansJaneEvans
    Suggest we meet at the club on Tuesday at 8.30pm to plan transport.
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe
    I will see you there on Friday evening.

    We may have to paddle on the north coast on Monday as a strong southerly is forecast http://magicseaweed.com/Falmouth-Surf-Report/135/

    If anyone would like to have a go at tidal planning, they might find this useful...

    If anyone wants to borrow my Scorpio, they can. It is the orange one with thick white tape on the front and rear keel and a compass fitted.

    Anyone able to take a small bbg in case we get the opportunity? I have charcoal packed.
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe
    Thanks all for a fantastic weekend paddling. I loved the caves and rock hopping on Sunday - a fantastic bit of coast, which needs more exploring.

    Jon - I put your boat in the shed this afternoon.

    here here! Thanks to those organising the weekend and leading the trips as well as everyone else for going and the good company for the weekend,
    Lessons learned...Jane can't measure distance! Boats dont fly! Steve does lead trips that aren't in 4ft waves. Seals are inquisitive and will disappear at the sight of a camera! Rock hopping is great! We do have some great paddlers of all abilities in the club.
