Further trip details:
*Trip is dependent on weather conditions - more info will be sent out next week once we see how it is tracking*
Spaces will be limited based on the ability to transport kayaks there. If you have roof racks/tow bar or are willing to use soft racks to help transport kayaks, please put that in the trip comments.
The plan is to go to Lysterfield Park Lake and paddle for the day. We will be running an intro to kayaking session to teach beginner skills and wet exits for those of you that haven't done much paddling before. Complete novices welcome :). We will be going over basic kayaking skills so that you know how to safely participate in future paddling trips - however it will mean that if you haven't done it before then you will have to practise capsizing.
Car pooling will be arranged by the trip leader, you will be notified of this a few days before the trip.
Gear list:
