Outline plan: We will be launching at Black Tar and heading up the estuary paddling against the flow and coming back with the flow. Sea kayaks or small boats. Please meet at the container at 6:15pm if you require kit. Please help load boats and equipment. Meet at 7pm next to the waters edge for briefing and launch. Car parking is very tight at Black Tar so if anyone can car share it would make things easier.
Expected condtions: Because of increasing wind we are retreating to the Estuary. West or north west 4-6 increasing to 7. Low tide Milford Haven at 9:47pm. If it looks like the wind will be increasing to force 7 or above the trip may be cancelled. Please check website on Tuesday morning after 10am
