This was a great favourite in 2017. A trip with a difference as it will combine kayaking with some beach cleaning and environmental work, supporting The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust and the Marine Conservation Society. They hope to go further afield than last year with a possible trip out to Bishops lighthouse and there is always the possibility of a paddle back to the mainland at the end of the trip. This trip is run by Nick Arding but Chris Badham is our club contact. The price will be GBP400 per person so long as they get a minimum of 9 people to cover the fixed costs. This price will include kayak and basic equipment hire, guiding and instruction. People will need to pay for their own transport to St Martins and camping plus food. Last year the return ferry was around GBP100 and the camping was about GBP10 per night. Chris tells us some people stayed in B&Bs last year, and there are also Chalets and Cottages on the Island (St Martins). Deposits of GBP50 will be needed by December to secure your place.
