Update: The forecast for Sat is looking tricky and so an alternative venue will be established based on abilities of those who sign up. (5 Aug 24)
The coast from Salcombe to Start Point is fabulous, and a treat to paddle, provided the weather is favourable. It will be summer holidays and so Salcome will get busy so getting there reasonably early is the key.
The tide should help us go to Start Point in the morning but it's not a strong current and neither will it be strong on the return, but it will be with us again. Clearly this is an exposed coast and so the trip will be heavily weather dependant but being in August the summer weather is assured....
My aim will be to meet at 10:00 and be on the water with minimum of fuss. The meeting place will be Salcombe, North Sands car park TQ8 8LD, What 3 Words https://w3w.co/discusses.gagging.spillage, and OS SX730382.
