• Plan is to paddle on the flood into Moricambe Bay and up the Wampool Estuary to Anthorn, or as far as we can get! There is an exposed section of coastline, 3-4km, where we'll be paddling with possibly a beam swell and expect a few waves as we round Grune Point over the sand banks, the same on the return leg.
• Return on the Ebb to the starting point.
• Approx 22km and back at the cars around 3.30pm

8. Meet to share lifts:  Always good to share lifts to save on fuel & emissions. Check the WhatsApp group nearer the time.

9. Anything else:  Please bring lunch and a warm drink.
