Come down for one or both days. For those wishing to stay overnight, we will be camping at Lobb Fields, Saunton Road, Braunton. This trip is suitable for everyone.
Tidal trip, camping overnight on an island. Arrive either Friday evening or Saturday morning.
Starting at Redcliffe Farm we shall paddle down the Wareham Channel and across the harbour to Brownsea Island for Saturday night. You will need to pack everything in your boat so think about your craft (no small boats!). Suitable for all abilities. It may be possible for non-paddlers to use the ferry.
Bring your craft – kayak / surfboard / bodyboard… or maybe towel, suncream and a good book! We are hoping to go to Saunton Sands in Devon, a long straight sandy beach backed by impressive sand dunes. Join us for one of both days, we will be camping nearby at Braunton.
Obviously we are dependent upon wind direction and height of surf, with the option of a flat water (tidal) paddle on the Estuary at Barnstaple / Bideford.
This trip is suitable for everyone.
Introduction to moving water (depending upon water level) and /or flat water paddle. This trip is suitable for all abilities.
