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. We can discuss any questions about the kit required and/or alternatively…….

There is a link at the bottom of the page for Kit. There are other useful links, all of which are recommended reading.
Could I emphasize ......
Dry suits only - 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 , ( guest Andy Rushton joining the trip , form completed )

Meet as planned. It will be windy, f4 gusting f6 from the west. We should find some shelter. Light showers and cool so dress for warmth.
An Opportunity to meet up on the water and explore sea kayak assisted and self rescues. We could also look at some towing options if people are interested
1. Event co-ordinator Sten Sture
2. Trip Leader leader Sten Sture
3. Trip type: Sea kayak rescue training (well lake really)
4. Level of ability : All
5. Date: Thursday 9th March
6. Venue : Brown Howe Coniston Water
7. Meet location / time : Meet at laybys just north of Brown Howe http://streetmap.co.uk/map?X=329102&Y=491282&A=Y&Z=120 with a fall back option of using the pay and display carpark 10:00
8. Meet to arrange shuttle: No Shuttle
9. Anything else:
The loose plan is to go for a short paddle to warm up and loosen off, spend as long as we need doing dry stuff (towing etc). have a break then do some wet stuff. Bring a flask and a sandwich along with calm weather and sunshine.
Bring the kit you would normally take on with you (if you normally have kit on your deck then put it on there for this) also any gear you want to practice / experiment with. Tow lines, contact tow systems, paddle floats etc, bring a pump if you have one.
Getting wet is not mandatory, you can still come and learn through observation.
Please dress warm.
A dry suit is recommended. If you don't have a dry suit bring your normal paddling gear and if you want to have a practice do so just before we get off the water.
Sea kayaks only.
