SEA TRIP - Chichester Harbour

Trip organiser: George Preston

Email: Treasurer@bathcanoelcub.co.uk

 

Lead paddler: Phil Filby & Jim Hayward

 

Open to anyone who has passed ITP. No previous sea experience necessary. If under 18 you must be accompanied by a responsible adult for the whole trip including on the water.
 

You must register if you intend to come. Places are limited to ensure a sensible ratio between 3* and less experienced paddlers.

This trip will be led by two BCC members who are 3* paddlers, but you will be expected to take responsibility for your own kit and general safety. See Trip Types

Meet at the club in time to load boats etc and leave by 08.00 

If you need a club boat email the quartermaster mailto:quartermaster@bathcanoeclub.co.uk

Transport

Journey distance about 100 miles each way. Approximate journey time 2 hours 30 minutes. A convenient stop for a comfort break is the first service station on the M27 about 60 miles in to the outward journey.

 

For environmental and economic reasons we should car share as much as possible. However with sea kayaks only 2 per car is recommended. Fuel cost £20-£30 per car + parking (maximum £4 per day depending on launch site). Actual cost between you and driver/passenger.

 

Other costs

To paddle in Chichester Harbour you require a permit which costs £4 per day and may be obtained from www.conservancy.co.uk/page/harbour-dues-charges/319/

 

Weather

This is a weather dependent trip. We will do our best to find somewhere sheltered on the day but may have to postpone at short notice (day before) if the weather is not kind.
