Title: Old Farts with Beards
Post by: Lorcan on June 24, 2008, 11:09:55

Hi Guys & Girls

Just wondering if anybody is interested in heading away on a sea Kayaking course in August.
If so let me know.

Hey Sara

Yeah the plan would be to head over to Simon and Roz to do a 5 day advanced Course. It would basically cover off 4-5* stuff.
It is over a weekend i think it's the 14-18th August. Driving over on a road trip in the van.

hmmm, the '4-5 day' and 'advanced' words are making me not sure, since im not paddling now i dont know what state of readyness ill be in to do that in August. I guess I should say count me out to be honest, too much to soon wouldn't be good.

Sara, if you come over, I promise whatever the weather and wind, I'll find scenic flat water to bring you out on.

Accommodation will be taken care of but you might have to go to a few beach bbqs and drink cider in the sun and wear flip flops.

Anyone else?

Mickle's interested too but I think he is board shy these days. That's enough to cover the costs of a ferry and van/car trip. Or fly to Newquay direct with AirSouthWest and I'll pick you up in van/car type thing.
