There will be a sea touring paddle on Saturday. This trip is aimed to be suitable for less experienced sea paddlers, weather permitting. Schedule for the day is meeting at Maclaines sea kayak shed at 8.30am, drive to Stoke Gabriel, there and back paddle and then drive back aiming to be finished by 5pm. HW 12noon. Plan is to paddle up to Totnes, perhaps also Tuckenhay and perhaps towards Dittisham. Trip is reasonably sheltered from the wind. Mixed speeds can be accommodated.
Post code TQ9 6RE (Approx) SG is very small.

Transport for sea kayaks can be provided. If you are driving straight to SG please arrive at 9.30am.
We can share transport but please wear a mask. Exeter has moved to high risk so we need to do what we can to limit spread of COVID.

Information on kit is here:

    Please put me on the reserve list after Kwinten.

    Sounds good, but probably already committed I expect you'll reach 6 but will look out and if there is space and I can shift things I'll let you know.
  • Toby_SToby_S
    I'll be keen to do this please. Not much sea experience but use the sea kayaks in the canal all the time..

    If this miserable weather eventually clears I will be keen and happy to act as second leader if we are in sheltered waters.

    Jane, Do you have a post code or more detail about meeting point please? I haven’t been to Stoke Gabriel before.

    Developed a shoulder injury (rotator cuff tear) so not paddling for a bit.

    Can we share lifts for saturday or do we have to take seperate transport ??
  • Fiona_HFiona_H
    It's looking more likely I will be able to join you Sat, if so will meet you in Stoke Gabriel. If it messes with numbers please let me know.
    Thanks

    No worries. Maybe safer to use own vehicle..would someone be happy to take a kayak for me if space. ?I've got a roof rack but loaded at the moment. I would meet at the boat shed to help load up.. if poss..

    Yes there is a space for you Alex.

    Re transport, I apologise: I shouldn't have assumed that people would be willing to share cars.

    I am willing to take 2 other people so I can give Alex a lift. Please advise if you have any connection to the university, as if so it is probably not a good idea.

    ok, that'll be fine.
