Ok. Teignmouth is packed, queuing for the car park. We are currently to the R of the slipway back beach.
-
Maggie, Dave, Josie starting at 3:30. Everyone meet at 6pm or as soon after as possible, back beach. Bring personal safety kit. Bring something suitable if you want to look at the eclipse - a phone with a selfie camera, a colander, eclipse glasses e…

Fair enough. I'm hoping we will go out to sea to see what we can see, but Teignmouth isn't necessarily perfect for an evening eclipse. We might be better off going up the estuary a bit, beyond the bridge, for 7:15.
-
Josie and I are thinking about doing a couple of hours in the afternoon before this session. I think most people will be at work, but if anyone else is keen, do comment.
-
Great. Looking forward to it. Please check you've got your boat transport sorted! It can be busy for parking so consider a trolley, and perhaps a hot drink for afterwards. Eclipse glasses??
-
@Lara_Goodband since improvers and SK award classes have merged I will continue to facilitate short evening sessions at Teignmouth where I can (not this week). They might be Tues or Weds, depending on demand. The biggest constraint might be getting …

I could probably make Sunday
-
Yes, back beach, lower point car park. From 6pm. And I could do with some one turning the boat over as I try for a LH roll. Bear in mind, it could be busy, and people might need to drop a boat or trolley down.
-
Great. Looking forward to it already.
-
On the sea, yes please
-
It'll be good to see you, Chris. Lower Point car park by the lifeboat slipway. But if that's busy people may need to trolley down from the top car park. Owen - another time!
-
Kind, thanks Owen!
-
I've put 20 and 21 in the diary, but that's only the opening of the negotiation. And I'd have to look into getting back to my vehicle, or leaving the vehicle and getting to the start.
-
Only just seen this! I'd be interested in midweek days. However, I'm down to do the set 4 improvers from 28 July (I think), so I might be a bit limited.
-
No takers for Tues so.... This has morphed into an early afternoon paddle on Weds. If anyone else wants to join, drop me a line.
-
Ok, we can decide tomorrow eve.
-
Sorry to miss this, but I'm heading to Scotland.
-
Thanks for your company everyone. Good progress and a lovely day for it.
-
Andy, come if you'd like - but confirm here. 5 is still within remit. I'm keen that people get a chance to work on what they want to do, so no more unless another coach joins.
-
Great. Thanks Laura. This looks like a fun group. Looking forward to it.
-
Excellent! @Josie dunking is only a requirement if you've not been dunked in a full year. But you've been in loads! I just need to know people can climb back in if needed.
-
Thanks everyone. But also HUGE THANKS TO DAVE - for coaching and especially for helping with boat transport. These last two weeks at Teignmouth, which have been a delight, wouldn't have been possible without him. As on week four, we had Josie, J…

Week 5 of this class will be at Teignmouth again, lower point car park, from 6pm.
-
What a stunning evening with that sunset! Joe Rowan and Josie all did their wet exits and climbed back in from deep water. We did a tiny recap of going sideways, trying to catch each other. We had fun with some balancing on the back…
-
For the record, the class on 5 May will be at Teignmouth, meeting lower point car park 6pm.
-
Week 3 recap. Joe S, Rowan, Josie We did a bit of backwards paddling, looking over alternate shoulders, to remind ourselves of the need for good rotation. Josie caught up on the high angle stern rudder from week two. We did some 360 tu…
-
Excellent. Christina, if you've signed up for an advanced course they'll be working above coastal level anyway. End of season, when the water is warm, is a great time to book a leadership assessment. You'll need the nav, first aid etc for that …
-
👍🏽
-
See you soon, Ruth. Joining in week 3 of a five week course is going to leave you disadvantaged tho. Let's see how it goes. WEEK 2 RECAP Joe R, Joe S, Rowan S. Present. Isabelle, Josie and Ruth couldn't make it. It was breezy, so we…

You're fit and flexible Andy. You just need time on the water. Keep looking for trips. It won't take long.
