SUMMARY:Brightlingsea Tour POSTPONED*
DESCRIPTION:*Unfortunately due to the Brightlingsea Regatta this tour has been postponed. \nThis is a sea paddle\, and all paddlers will need to be independent in terms of transport and equipment. \nThe tour will commence at Brightlingsea harbour at around 09.45 to be on the water for 10.am. Launching is available from either the Hard {the harbour itself} or the hammer head pontoon depending on weather conditions. Parking is available in the Tower Street car park {CO7 0AP}.  The cost of parking is around £4 for 4 hours. It is situated at the bottom of Tower Street just behind the Harbour Master’s office. From here there is a short walk to the launch point. \nAll participants will need to be suitably experienced paddling tidal water and have Paddle UK membership or other similar license for paddling. \nThe tour will leave Brightlingsea harbour and turn right up the river Colne keeping the seafront in sight on the right. There will be about an hour and half’s paddle to Whitehouse beach where we will break for lunch. From here we can either return to Brightlingsea directly or paddle up Aylesford creek to the tidal mill before returning. Paddlers should bring their own lunch and hot beverage. \nPlease note this tour is dependant on good weather conditions and therefore may be subject to change at short notice. \nFor more information and to book your space on the tour\, email the organiser with your name\, contact telephone number\, and emergency contact number. Please let the organiser know if you can offer roof rack space for another boat if necessary. \nInformation\, changes\, and updates about this tour will be posted on the club website and\, where possible\, on the club noticeboard. \nPlease note the following: \n\nThis tour is considered suitable for paddlers who have completed the BC 2 Star or Discovery award and have some prior experience paddling tidal water. \nFor tour safety\, this trip is restricted to 12 paddlers maximum. Regrettably\, if you don’t put your name down but turn up on the day and there are already 12 paddlers\, we will have to turn you away. If the tour is oversubscribed\, please contact the tour leader 24 hours before the tour\, as there are sometimes cancellations.\nPaddlers should bring their National Governing Body membership card and be of at least Explore standard or equivalent. They should also bring with them their usual safety kit. \n\nOrganiser: Jim Crouch; Email  jimboc1963@gmail.com \nBy signing up to this tour\, the paddler accepts the following consent conditions: \n\nI understand that the qualified coaches leading the tour will make dynamic risk assessments during the tour and agree to abide by any decisions they make\, including cancelling\curtailing the tour if they decide the risks compromise the safety of the Touring members.\nUnder 16s must be under the supervision of an adult coach or parent/guardian whilst on the tour.\nFor tours not on the Chelmer and Blackwater Canal\, membership of the National Governing Body is required and must be shown to the tour organiser.\nBoats and equipment may be hired by arrangement with the Equipment Officer or the relevant club section.\nCopies of the Club constitution & rules are displayed on the Club noticeboard and can be obtained from the Club secretary (the cost of printing these may be charged).\n\nAs part of my membership of CHELMSFORD CANOE CLUB\, I understand that canoeing can be a hazardous activity and is undertaken at my own risk.
