Apologies to all, but it has been decided to cancel the Mince Pie Paddle on Saturday due to the wind and rain forecasts . We hope that eating your mince pies in front of a cosy fire instead won't be too much of a hardship . We will have to make it an Easter Egg Paddle instead. -

What gear do sea kayak leaders carry ?
Nicola Hartley posted an event in LCC Paddling Safety Courses
untilA chance for a sneak peek inside the hatches of your sea kayak leaders. What do they carry and why? Items for carrying out repairs to boats or camping kit, spares of various sorts, tips on improvising if things go wrong...come along and find out more! Event presented by : Robin Everingham, John Soady and Pete Riley Event co-ordinator : Nicola Hartley Session type : Off the water safety training Level of ability : open to anyone wishing to learn from experienced paddle leaders Date and time : Monday 19th February 2024 - 6.30pm to 8.15pm to allow time to attend pool session afterwards if you wish Venue : Kendal Leisure Centre -
until*** Update **** Many apologies, due to an unforeseen clash of events, we have to cancel this session . There is a session covering similar material on 3rd January , please have a look at that and sign up. We will see how that goes and rearrange John' s session according to demand. You may feel that you should be carrying one or more safety aids when you are on a sea kayaking trip, such as a VHF radio, a personal locator beacon, flares, a satellite tracking device, a phone etc , and have seen them used, but you don't know where to start. This session will present different options and their uses & limitations, with plenty of opportunity for hands on and asking questions, sharing ideas and experiences Session presented by : John Soady Event co-ordinator : Nicola Hartley Session type : Off the water safety training Level of ability : Session aimed at people who don't yet have any/much experience of electronic safety devices and are considering what to use/buy. Date : Monday 15th January 2024 Venue : Kendal Leisure Centre Time : 6.30pm - 8.15pm to allow pool session attenders time to change
