SEA: N Cornwall - Intermediate

Leader:	Phil
Trip level:	Intermediate

The North Cornwall coast is a great area to paddle which is why it's the second visit in Aug but it's also exposed and so this is very clearly an Intermediate

 grade trip.  It will be neap tides with flood in the morning and ebb in the afternoon.  

My outline is to launch from Portreath and paddle NW along the rugged coast, perhaps as far as St Agnes Hd.  If we're lucky we may also be able to launch from St Agnes or Gwithian but this area is so weather dependant that no long term plan survives contact with the enemy!

I'm currently thinking that The Old Stables, just west of Cambourne, may be a good campsite but I'm not booking a long time in advance.  

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.
