Includes
We provide all kit (wetsuits, helmets, buoyancy aids, gloves, old shorts for over the wetsuit)
Excludes
Bring swimwear, a towel and a pair of long socks to cover your ankles, if you have old trainers bring them, if not borrow some from us :) Appeal; I’m running low on old shorts to go over the wetsuit, if you have any please bring them! It’s stops the suits getting trashed! Participants will change in a private garden in the open air or in a tent, come prepared :)
Important to Know
A reminder that under 18s must have a parent or legal guardian with them on the trip!
Meeting Point
Meet just before your allocated time @TQ14SU Maidencombe- outside the Thatched Tavern Pub. Belongings can be locked in the van before the session starts. Turn down Steep Hill, you come out right by the pub! The Car park is pay and display, coins only at the moment so bring some change! The toilets here don’t open until 10am so please bare this in mind. On sunny days parking can be tricky so give time to find a space especially if on a 1pm tour. A short walk may be required. Please park with courtesy :)
