Trip description
We’ll meet up by the coast before lunch on Saturday. After we’ve gone through a safety brief, the plan for the weekend and packed our kayaks we’ll start kayaking! We’ll paddle and enjoy a day out at sea, look for birds and other animals and then make our way to our camp site. We’ll cook the dinner together and enjoy the beginning of autumn before we crawl into our sleeping bags. After breakfast on Sunday we’ll make our way back to where we started and are planning to be back around lunchtime.
