*Session info* You will be in a boat with an instructor, and some other beginners. You will help to control the boat on the water after getting used to being in the boat. Everything will be explained and we strive to creating a learning experience where everyone is comfortable and happy. We will not make you do anything that you do not want to do.
How to get there Please be at Mt Batten (what three words are: ‘elder.stick.sweep’). If you get the ferry simply walk up the pontoon once you get off and congregate there, we will come get you.
If you drive there is a carpark, please make sure you register your car at the office (free). We can help out with this tommorow so don’t stress!
To get the ferry, walk to the Barbican, and look for the Mayflower Steps. Look out at the pontoon and that’s where you need to go to get the ferry (50.365199, -4.133567). Ferries leave Mt batten at quarter to and quarter past the hour. They are yellow and £3.25 each way. It will take you straight to Mt Batten. It is a 20 second walk on the other side. Or split an uber with some mates or get a bus.
*Kit list* We provide all sailing kit e.g wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets included with your £5 ticket. Please show up in clothes you are happy to get wet in (it’s unlikely you will get wet) and a towel + spare chance of clothes just in case. There are changing facilities at Mt Batten . Please bring CLOSED TOE SHOES. Old trainers are perfect. Flipflops, crocs or sliders are not acceptable.
*Other info* Please eat a suitable breakfast and bring a snack for you way back home.
