Aim to be back at Biggar Bank and on the water by 10:30
9. It will be quite a long carry from cars to the water at Biggar Bank so a trolly would be an advantage but not essential.
Anything else: Weather permitting the plan is to paddle South from Biggar around the South End stopping for lunch probably on Piel Island and then North up the Channel to reach Jubilee bridge around high water.
Tide height is 8.24 (Ramsden Dock ).
HW is at 15:15 so aim to be on the water at Biggar Bank by 10:30
Should be at Jubilee Bridge before 15:30
Bring lunch and a flask. The Ship Inn may be open so bring some cash if you fancy a fresh brew or a beer.
Sea kayaks only.
RSVP Limit at 6 unless another club leader joins the trip and is willing to assist.

I am happy to co-ordinate and lead the trip. However, as we will be a team, we are jointly responsible for each other’s safety on the water.
Please ensure you carry the correct kit for the trip you are attending.

I am happy to co-ordinate the trip and organise leaders for the session. However, as we will be a team and we are jointly responsible for each other’s safety on the water.
Please ensure you carry the correct kit for the trip you are attending. Note: Dry suits only please - in summer it might be possible to manage without a dry suit, but in winter an early dip has more severe consequences for the individual concerned and the rest of the group.
RSVP 2 days prior to trip: initially set at 5 paddlers* (one leader, four improvers).
Club members only. No guests, sorry.
*If you are interested but RSVP limit is reached, please contact me on WhatsApp: Alex Davies, number ending 909 (I’m on LCC Paddler Chat) and I will try and find more leaders for the group so the RSVP limit can be increased.
