Porthgain 16th August 2018

Type of trip: Sea
Level: Moderate
Paddler Level: All

Meet at:Porthgain car park Meeting time: 6:45pm

Briefing and Launch time:7:00pm (*Please note that it will be at the discretion of the trip leader as to whether or not any member who has not signed up and not attended the safety briefing is allowed to participate in this trip.)

Estimated Duration: 2 hrs

Outline plan: It will be windy and relatively rough seas so a good time to practice some rough water skills. This trip will be more challenging but since we haven't got any absolute beginners in the club at the moment everyone will be able to manage it. We will split into groups with an experienced person in each group. The less experienced paddlers can go just outside the harbour walls and practice turning their kayaks in the wind, best use of the skeg in different wind directions, bracing etc. More experienced groups can explore further afield. Can a key holder please meet me at the containers at 6:00pm.

Expected condtions: Strong westerly winds. Force 4-5. Around 4ft swell. No rain and the forecast at the moment is saying sunny. It might change though!
