Improver/Intermediate level (moderate water)
Available places
What to expect
'Stack Rocks' is another of the great Pembrokeshire sea kayaking trips, located in St. Brides Bay. The route is between Little Haven and Martin's Haven, but we can paddle it in either direction or as return journeys to St Brides. 'Stack Rocks' are rocky outcrops about 1 kilometre off the coast, often inhabited by seals. This experience is all about exploring the stunning coastline and playing in features along the way – on the route are some of the oldest rock formations in Wales, and seemingly endless opportunities for rock hopping and cave exploration. This trip is ideal for paddlers with some sea kayaking or whitewater experience, but is not suitable for complete beginners. We will provide some coaching at the start of each day, and tips along the way, to help you make the most of the conditions and features we experience. At the upper end, we might paddle in wind of 18mph, swell or surf height around 1m, and currents of 2 knots (i.e. ‘moderate’ water). We will not be paddling in tide races or overfalls. To join the trip you should have the following paddling experience: - At least 2 days sea kayaking or white water kayaking (grade 2) in the past 12 months (in a kayak with a spraydeck) - Wind above Beaufort 3 (so, 13 mph+) - Swell of 0.5 metre - Current faster than 0.5 knot - Completed at least two capsizes and wet exits (you do not need to be able to self-rescue or roll) If you are not sure of your experience, or are borderline, please contact us to discuss. We are also running an Intermediate Skills course on Friday 8th May if you want to practice or develop your skills - you can book on to this separately via the 'Training' section of our website. Sea kayak, paddle, BA, helmet, spray deck, cag and a drybag are included. You must provide your own clothing, footwear, snacks, packed lunch and hot drink. You are welcome to use your own sea kayak and equipment, for a reduced rate, provided it is in seaworthy condition. We will let you know the meeting location at least 24 hours before hand, and there will be a WhatsApp group for communication and sharing photos.
