Registration

  • Tidal race paddle - I have the pre requisites described

I'm organising a long weekend sea kayaking in Pembrokeshire.  I've chosen these time of year as the puffins should be on Skomer.

I am looking to bring in an Advance coach/Leader for this trip so there will be a cost for this trip.  Having had some quotes this is looking at coming in at £55 per day.   So looking at £110 for the two days.  This is half the price of a commercial trip rate. 

This will be split into two parts.  If you want to attend both the intermediate and the advance please sign up for both.

Sunday and Monday will be an advanced trip!  I'm thinking playing in tidal races and smiles! Again location will depend on conditions and weather.  I am personally hoping for Skomer and/or Ramsey, but this (as anything on the sea) is not guaranteed.  For these trips to work with the tides they may require an early start of 6am or 7am ish on the water.  

The pre requisites to join this trip are the ability to roll (I don't mean in a pool - I mean in the sea in waves and moving/tidal water - if not first time then holding on and going for a second or third attempt), or sea 4* or sea leader. Talk to me if you are unsure about the pre requisites. 

Survey to let me know about your experience and what you would like out of the two days here https://forms.gle/9k62PgnpS6YAGriEA

Those with good  WW experience (4*/WWL / solid roll/ comfortable on big ferry glides in waves) you may be interested in these trips, we can get you rolling a sea kayak (we can get you doing this on the first two days)  Booking on two both part of this trip would be essential.

If we can't fill the trip we may open it up to club guests who meet the pre requisites, so you may be able to invite your friends.  We can then recruit and increase the number of club members.

I will suggest a campsite closer to the time which will be based on likely location of paddling.  You will need to book this directly.  You are very welcome to sort your own accommodation if you prefer something other than camping, but will need to get yourself to the start points each day.  We will need to run shuttles between us on the day.

Payment is be expected at time of booking, this will be non returnable, but you have the right to sell your spot to another member.
