When the conditions are good this is a fabulous trip out to the Needles. It's not a long distance paddle but the turbulent waters off Hurst Castle un-nerve many on the return trip, hence intermediate grading.
We should be on the water by about 10:30 which will mean getting there about 09:30. The car park at Keyhaven is the best place to meet, grid SZ 306 914, SO41 0TP, W3W ///purest.automate.stubble. There is then a short walk to the beach by the yacht club..
I'll send out instructions to registrands a few days before the trip.
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 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.
