We are setting off at 09.30 with the aim of following the river channel as far as we can towards Morecambe, then returning with the incoming tide. Likely following the bore wave in. May have issues with shallow water, meandering channels and dead ends.

For those with advanced skills or intermediate if you don't wish to surf the bore wave.

Bring food drink etc but be prepared to consume it from the kayak as we won't be able to stop on the incoming tide.

Should be back in Arnside by 13.30

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.
