Explore Sea Kayaking trip to Exmouth 18th June (boat transport help needed!)

The explore sea kayak group is heading down to Exmouth next week (18th June) to have a paddle on the sea. Would any other club paddlers with transport be free to help out with transporting boats that evening (and come for a paddle)? Thanks!

Students: Please comment below to confirm you're coming, which boat you'd like, whether you need any equipment picking up from the club for you, and if you need a lift.

Timings and location

We'll meet at Exmouth at 6.30pm, at the sea front carpark towards Orcombe Point (https://goo.gl/maps/YWZiJDhAV4e4Wd2P8). If we meet just before the toilets there is a ramp we can carry the boats down.

If you're going to load boats and pick up kit from the club in advance, let's meet at the club at 5.30pm.

Boat Transport

We have a few volunteers so far who can take some boats (thank you!):

Me - 2 boats
Jacqui - 1
Stuart - 2(?)
Jane - 2
Helen - 2
Robin - 2

We'll have up to 12 students who need boats transporting, so would a couple more people be able to help out? Thank you!

If you'd like a boat taking for you, please comment below to say which boat you'd like, and to confirm that you're coming.

People Transport

From our discussion at the club last Tuesday, I think everyone can get themselves there, or with help from other members of the group? If you still need a lift though, please comment here and I'm sure someone will be able to take you, either from the club or on route. I have a space for someone from the club if needed.

Equipment

Please come with a buoyancy aid, spray deck and helmet (these are in a bucket in the club kit store). If you won't be coming to the club before Exmouth, post here and I can take some kit for people.

I can pick up paddles for everyone - let me know if there's a specific length you'd like.

Communication

If there are any last minute problems, my number is 07500640263.

    Hi James. I can make it. I know I used one of the green boats, can't remember the number but I can come over at 5.30 to select it. I can give people a lift from Exeter if they need it. Thanks, Sara.

    Hi James - I will meet you at Exmouth - would it be possible for someone to transport a boat there for me please? No idea what type of boat I had last week... but it was orange. Many thanks - Kathy

    Thanks everyone for confirming so far.

    For those meeting at Exmouth, I'll pick up:
    Adrian: Helmet, spray deck & paddle (do you have a bouyancy aid?)
    Evelyn: Helmet, BA, spray deck and paddle
    Paul: Paddle

    Kathy: Do you need any kit bringing from the club?

    Hello there, is anyone driving from the Quay with a spare seat perchance?

  • jpallenjpallen

    I think we have enough boat transport arranged (just).

    For people transport, there should be plenty of seats going from the club. I can take one person, and I think Stuart, Helen and Jacqui will also potentially have space. Jake and Sara have also offered lifts.

    It sounds like only Andy, Oliver and Owen need a lift? So plenty of people space from the club at 5.30pm.
