Sidmouth is a pleasant launch site for a trip past Jacob's Ladder and the impressive stacks around Ladram Bay.
The launch point is on the beach at the westerly end of the esplanade, EX10 8RZ, https://w3w.co/miss.others.data, https://explore.osmaps.com/pin?lat=50.676901&lon=-3.242432&zoom=16.0000&style=Leisure&type=2d. It is possible to drop boats off at the launch site before going off to find a parking place. Follow the road west up the hill and there is free parking on the road and a large car park on the north side of the road 500m from the launch/drop off. A trolley does make life a little easier although the shingle is hard going.
The aim will be to be on the water by 10:30 and so need to be there in good time beforehand.
Dry suits are advised for winter paddling since wet suits and cags can be very cold.
You must satisfy yourself that this trip is suitable for you, that you are sufficiently experienced, able and willing to paddle at the advertised level. For detailed guidance, see trip categoristion. If in doubt, seek guidance from the advertised leader before registering.
You must register if you intend to come. Places are restricted in an effort to maintain an acceptable leader/participant ratio. When the list is full names can still be registered as reserves and the leader will notify you if you may join the trip.
If you change your mind, that's okay! But please contact the leader and the trips officer as soon as you know so that someone else can register in your place.
If you want to know more about how trips are conducted see trip routine.
You must bring suitable equipment or make arrangements for someone to bring it for you (eg. kayak). See what to bring.
You are advised to book a club boat, if you don't have your own. Choose the boat most suited to you and then write the booking on the white board in the club basement store.
