    Hi

    I am going to rule myself out, unfortunately I have a couple of other things booked that weekend.

    Have a great trip all.

    nickJ:
    I can't paddle this Tuesday so need someone else (Martin?) to collect the group shelter, one flare pack, throw line, club VHF (unless you bring your own) and a helmet for me - medium.
    I shall bring my own flares, VHF, towline and usual personal kit.
     
    I can do Nick. Btw I will travel down on Thursay night too if anyone wants a lift and can take one extra boat. 
    O London, see
    Swelling with naval pride, the pride of thee!
    Wide, deep, unsullied Thames, meandering glides,
    and bears thy wealth on mild majestic tides.

    Re: DORSET 7 & 8 June

    My activity car may not be ready by Thurs 5 June.

    If that is the case, we will need to convince Martin K to carry 3 boats on his car using Aileen's many J bars ...

    But I have taken Friday 6 June off as holiday.

    Re: DORSET 7 & 8 June

    Hi there,

    I am definately interested in coming along for the Dorest 7th/8th trip, I am however only 2* so would need a L3 in order to go. That £150 sounds quite reasonable, especially if there are four of us??? Wasn't sure if that was still an option. I have a car and roof rack for two boats  and 2-3 extra people (it's only a three door and would probably struggle with any more!) and a fair amount of my own gear. Do we have enough boats if I was to come?? Sorry if any of these questions seem obvious but this is the first trip I would have been on with the club.

     

    Andy

     

    PS I would head down Fri night

    Re: DORSET 7 & 8 June

    mine should be arriving tomorrow! if so can do 2 boats (roof rack - assuming I bought the right one - takes 75kg) and me plus 2 people and kit.

    have also booked friday off and reserved a boat.

    Hi Andy,

    I think that because of the lateness of being able to confirm details about the 2-stars arrangements (Roger & Alison away at present) it will probably have to be postponed.  
    I'd suggest you assemble a groupof about 8-10, name a date and then we'll arrange a Level 3 coach to attend.  If you aim for a group of 10 assuming that 2 might either drop out or have to be on stand-by.  A L3 with suitable experienced support (free from the club) could probably accomodate 8 paddlers.

    Don't forget, there is absolutely nothing to stop you organising your own trips and coaching - Isle of Wight Sea Kayaking are likely to be able offer local coaches with local knowledge and competitive rates.

    Hi guys,

    Sorry we haven't been in touch. We were away on holidays and just got back today.

    Unfortunately, we have not been able to secure a vehicle of own own. On top of that, neither of us can take the day off on Friday. As you're all traveling on Thursday night, I think we have to pull out from this one.

    Have a great time!

    Re: DORSET 7 & 8 June

    Thanks for that Nic, will definately try and get something organised. Am heading out with Isle of White sea kayaks next month so hopefully can get the 3* under my belt. Have a great weekend,

    Thank everyone have fun.                                                                                                                                                                             Andy is the Isle of white trip something I could come along on? I am away at the start of the month on the Greece trip but if it was at the later end and I could make it I would be up for it, I also need my 3* but not sure if I would be at that level to pass but the week away should tell.
