Level: Sheltered/Moderate
Paddler Level: All

Meet at:Cleddau Reach (Free) Car Park Meeting time: 19:00

Briefing and Launch time:19:15 (*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: 1.5 - 2 hrs

Outline plan: The plan is to launch from the slipway into Cosheston Pill and paddle into the Haven, staying close to the shore and continuing westwards under the Cleddau Bridge, past the docks and (depending on conditions) heading up towards Pennar Point. There should be enough depth to get up close to the Martello Towers. We will be against wind and tide to start but should have an easier journey back. Up to 10k distance with some exposed areas around the bridge so sea boats are preferable. Meet at container 18:30 if you want to borrow a boat - please could a key holder come and assist?

Expected condtions: The forecast is 8 – 9 mph SW winds, gusting up to 15 mph. Light cloud, good visibility. Spring tides. HW Neyland is 21:13, 7.22 metres Sunset 20:30, Dark at 21:00 with new moon
