North Devon Sea Meet, 15-16 Sept 2007

Three Dragon Paddlers attended (Hywel, Rob G. and Emlyn), and undertook two trips. The first, around 12 miles long, was in fine weather, flat sea and no wind, from Lynmouth to Combe Martin. The second, on Sunday, was again in fine weather but with a slight-moderate sea and a Force 3 - 4 south-westerly wind to start with, though a Force 7 was forecast. Because of that forecast we were very cautious and paddled a round trip of only about 6 miles, from Hele Bay to the east of Ilfracombe to the beach at Brandy Cove point. 7 paddlers undertook the full first day trip, 8 the second. We had one capsize and rescue on the second day. Both were great trips (as are all DP trips of course).
