Progression to Sea Kayak Trip (Grade: Easy Moderate Water Grade A Improver paddlers)
We normally meet at the Docks to pick up boats and possibly share transport or alternatively, meet at the venue ready to paddle (Location and all details will be emailed to all participants and leaders 24 hours before the event).
Bookings end 2 days before the event (3 days for leaders and assistants) to all groups to be sorted and details emailed out...
(We do not charge for coaching or hire of boats (provided they are returned to the compound the same day), but there is a small booking fee of £5 to ensure that you are serious about attending)
You will paddle in a group of up to 6 with a Sea Leader and at least one assistant. More places will be released if more trip leaders and assistants come forward, so please check back regularly. You will need to organise yourself with a suitable boat and equipment for the Sea, which will be a suitable sea kayak! (You will need a spray deck and helmet ) Boats can be loaned from the club through the equipment booking system.
Full details of groups/meeting places will be circulated to participants and leaders at least 24 hours before the event.
This is an ideal first Sea Trip, but you should have at least 6 months of paddling experience on flat or sheltered water. You should have or loan a sea kayak with at least two hatches and bulkheads, and a working skeg (if it needs one).
We also need additional group leaders (Must be proven standard) and assistant leaders (Must be proven 3 * Standard) to be with a group of up to 4 improvers. Please reserve a place using the option to book a Leader and Assistant ticket.
