    Hi all,

    I’m down to lead the sea kayak trip this Saturday, 3 September. I’m reliably informed that meteorological autumn is here and looking at the forecast I can believe that it’s not just the meteorological autumn that’s upon us. The BBC forecast is showing a southerly wind at the upper end of force 4, maybe force 5 later. It also shows somewhere in the region of 60% chance of rain. I’m going to look again on Friday before making any decisions but if the forecast is right, we may well not bother. Whatever the decision I don’t think this will be a trip for people without a reasonable amount of sea kayak experience/expertise.

    Assuming we do go ahead we will follow a tried and tested pattern on meeting at Mount Batten, ready to go at 10:00, complete with lunch, safety equipment and broad happy smiles.

    Club boats are available for this trip. To book a club boat please contact equipment officer Pete Anderson via equipment@ppca-canoe-club.org.uk or 07958 694434.

    I will post again on Friday.

    I was planning to join but it doesn’t sound like right conditions for my first sea kayak trip.

    Hi all,

    Well, I’ve looked at 4 different weather websites and they all agree that we are in for a
    force 4 southerly wind tomorrow. 4 weather websites all telling the same story, how unusual.

    I am quite happy to go to Mount Batten in the morning and to look out over the Sound and probably do something, but I won’t decide what until the morning.

    It would be nice to know who is coming.
