As Summer is coming to an end, all happy and content and we start to look forward to the challenge and excitement of Winter sea kayaking. We thought while the water is warm and the sun’s shining there’s no better time to get some cool people together in a fantastic location and have some adventures in our sea kayaks.

If you haven’t heard, the North Devon and Exmoor coast is a sea kayaking paradise with miles and miles of award winning golden sandy surf beaches, the highest sea cliffs in England, some of the largest tidal ranges in the world all within easy reach…in some cases all in the same trip!

What’s the big idea? We love formal coaching and guiding and our training company, Channel Training does more than most. But in our hearts, we’re paddlers who just love being on the water doing our own thing, looking out for each other and having our own adventures. This ethos and approach will shape the weekend – it’s not about big groups being looked after while you get “out of your comfort zone”.

It’s about making decisions based on your ability and being a useful member of a team at sea and learning from others.

We will be working in small groups, headed up by one of our team of highly experienced local guides, coaches and paddlers, who are there to show you round all the best bits this fantastic coastline has to offer.    

At the end of the day we’ll get back together round the BBQ and campfire, swap stories listen to an exciting talks about all things paddling and drink local cider and plan for tomorrows adventures…actually, probably plan then drink cider!

Unfortunately, with ever increasing costs (camping, food, parking, insurance etc) we have had to increase our ticket prices this year, but we hope that you'll agree that it's still a great price for a full on weekend of fun out on the water with fantastic company and catering on the Saturday night!

This year, we're structuring our tickets a little differently!  There will be just 2 ticket options - paddling and non paddling:

A full weekend sea kayaking weekend ticket will include a camping pitch at Watermouth Valley Campsite, a BBQ on the Saturday night and a fireside talk with a guest speaker.  If you would rather stay somewhere else, then that's absolutely fine, but unfortunately we are not able to offer a reduced ticket rate if you decide to do so.

If you have a non-paddling friend who would like to join you for the weekend, we'd love to have them along too! It's a glorious area with plenty for them to see and do whilst you're out on the water!  They can chose to sit back and relax on your pitch with views of the sea and nearby cliffs, or explore the nearby Exmoor National Park!  Please select the 'non paddling' ticket option for them and ensure that any dietary requirements are included so that we can cater for them on the Saturday night.  

Watermouth Valley Campsite is suitable for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes.
