SEA: Combe Martin (Intermediate)

This trip will follow the ebbing stream towards Ilfracombe and then catch the flood back which starts about 14:30. 

Please note this is an intermediate graded trip in January so ensure you are suitably kitted up (dry suit etc.), and skilled enough for the races off the headlands and fit enough for a good paddle.

Meet at around 10:00 but aim to be launched by 10:30-11:00.  Lower Kiln car park EX34 0DN is close to the beach, w3w ///worthy.petulant.minority, SS 577 472.  There is a cheaper car park at https://w3w.co/package.trades.icebergs but it is small.  It can be a bit of a walk from both car parks and so dropping boats off at the beach can be helpful.  Recommend trolleys since there is a long carry when the tide is out even a little way.

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.
