I am putting this up for Iain, so details may be a bit wrong, check with him when booking.

A weekend of sailing, kayaking and so on.  The site is on a peninsular, so is safe for free range children.

Bring your own boat, don’t forget to get a licence for the harbour, or get a ride in someone else’s.  Camping is basic and no electricity.

Usually we have a camp fire and barbecue on the Saturday night.

Finishes, unusually, at 2pm Sunday.
