TUESDAY AND SUNDAY TRIPS

Once you have reached the required level of competency you may go on sea trips. Tuesday nights are shorter trips and some are suitable for beginners who have reached the required level of competency. Sunday Trips are usually full day trips and are suitable for more experienced paddlers. A programme of trips will be available in due course once it has been arranged. A small fee of £2.00 or £4.00 will be charged for the use and transportation of boats for the Tuesday and Sunday trips. This will be collected by the trip leader on the night of the trip before we are allocated our kayaks.
